I think the point of high school is to make kids' brains do work, and what you are learning is secondary.

People love to hate on their school curriculum and all the useless knowledge they had to acquire but I'm positive it makes you a smarter person overall, and the body of high school knowledge makes learning more specialized knowledge easier (even if that's baking bread or whatever)

(People also love to talk about how little they remember from school, yes the brain is a muscle and you stopped working out, congratulations.)
