School is a waste of time for a very, very, very small part of the population. For the vast majority of people it works (surprisingly?) really well.

Tell that to the high school and college graduates who are unemployed (and unemployable) and working minimum wage jobs.

I don't think the vast majority of the population would benefit from not having a high school education.

Ah yes, I'm sure they all deeply regret 4 years of learning, growing as human beings, making friends, etc. Being unemployable after college is BS. Being unemployed is a different matter, but uneducated unemployment is much higher than its educated counterpart.

You don't need school to make friends.

> Being unemployable after college is BS.
