I once compared high school experiences with my mother. She mentioned classes that her high school had that mine did not, such as geography and penmanship.
It didn't seem like my high school offered any class hers did not. I got the suspicion that a high school education had deteriorated by the time of my youth.
If so, college has become a crutch, to fill in the gaps caused by a deficient high school education.
Many moons ago I read Is There Life After High School by Ralph Keyes. As I recall, he basically described high school as a social setting for the in group, the jocks and the cheer leaders. Not a place for education, not really.
