To be educated about more than just basic sums and basic reading and writing skills. high school is an expansion of all that you learned before. It creates building blocks for you to branch off - you may learn in high school biology that science interests you more than history. High school offers more opportunity to be responsible for owns own self beyond what you learn in primary school (yet without the risks of the "real world"). Also, high school is a time for social maturation. You develop interaction skills that will be important in the workplace later (peers, superiors and subordinates).

It is to "find" yourself, mature and expand socially. To explore the electives and ROP classes to see what you really like doing and what type of a career you would like to have, as well as to round out your knowledge of say, woodworking, auto mechanics, cooking, TV news, computers, electronics etc. The ability to physically prepare for sports or just exercise. If you were not forced to go to high school, and just went to college, you may never figure out what you want or what is available for you to enjoy out of life or what different types of jobs there are out there. People laugh at the old days when children only got an 8th grade education because they had to work the farms etc... but that same eighth grade test from the 1890's was given to a group of college graduates, and most of them failed!! So what is our education system now??
