There's always this pretense that other people should have some say whatsoever in how another person chooses to educate their child. As if what people decided 100+ years ago should exist in perpetuity.
What does a public high school diploma afford one these days? The opportunity to work manual labor or retail jobs for starvation wages, and the opportunity to attend more school that costs money for jobs that pay marginally more for most people.
It's wasted time and resources for the vast majority of people. Could you imagine trying to train children to become elite athletes? As if everyone is going to play on a collegiate sports team, so we just spend 8+ hours per day doing athletic training? Even though most will never achieve success in collegiate or professional sports? Well, at least kids wouldn't be obese in that scenario, which is likely going to pay more dividends than teaching an average-iq person calculus.
