Actually I'm of the opinion that highschool students needs to be sheltered, and the focus should be on academics and not necessarily trying to be an adult. There's always time to become an adult later, even if it hits you in the face in your 20s. But there's only a small window to get your academics in order while you're still in highschool.

While I'd love to agree with your opinion, it is unrealistic. 40% of high schoolers will not enroll in college. A further 20% will drop out of college before they graduate. The students that do end up completing college are likely not the students this policy is worried about anyway.

While I'd love to see higher college attendance, the reality is that high school must prepare students for every possible outcome.
