I can't tell if you're seriously asking. But yes, tons of schools (in the US) are sub par, especially once you're one hour removed from a major city. From what I hear from cousins in West Virginia, it's actively getting worse.

Whether schools are subpar is a separate question.
I am saying that if you were in my high school and weren't expecting to go to college, there were courses designed for you across all disciplines to teach you practical life skills. However, I do think the school still required students to struggle through at least some of the standard curriculum.
