School is a kid's job, and prepares kids for their future? That's a joke, especially if you're talking about the public school system in this country. School isn't a choice if you're a kid. School is mandatory, and choosing otherwise leads to being picked up by truant officers/labelled a loser.

I know high school dropouts that are more intelligent and successful than 90% of the people on this board.

I know people who have gotten their masters, that are dumber than a doorknob and couldn't hold down a decent job to save their lives.

School gives kids the opportunity to develop social skills, and figure out one or two things that they may have an interest in. If you're going to make the argument that knowing who won the Battle of 1812 is preparing a kid for their future, then I can't help but laugh.
