Elementary school is crucial. If anyone can't see that, they are blind. Junior High is where school begins to become more and more pointless. I spent more than 10 hours creating a model of an atom out of Styrofoam balls, and you know what? It taught me nothing expect for how much those damn little balls cost. High School is where it really starts becoming pointless, but in a different way than Middle School. Middles School has the right idea, teaching the basics of everything, but they just do a crappy job. High School on the other hand, is pointless for a different reason. Classes that used to be crucial are now meaningless, because you have already learned what you need to learn, aka English. Yes, reading and writing is important, but not important enough to take for 10+ years. Then they add in a bunch of other classes that make no sense either. Sure there is a "choice", but honestly if I had to choose between AP fork in my eye or AP club over my head, I would choose neither...
I have little to know legitimate opinion on college because I am not in college yet, but it does seem far more promising than High School. Seems you at least get to take classes that are useful to you.
At this point I am just repeating what I have already said, so I will stop. The point is that too much of a good thing is sometimes a bad thing. On top of that, I'm not even convinced that the majority of school IS a good thing to begin with.
It depends on which school you go to. Some highschools are fantastic. Like mine :D

Indeed. And some teachers are better than others. I'm not saying that we don't need to fix the school system. We do. Teachers in california public schools get tenure after two years. REALLY? Who's idea was that. Now we have a bunch of lazy teachers that can't be fired.

Which is to say, some high schools have more money to provide classes of interest.
