We're old enough to babysit ourselves

i am home schooled and i know that may sound like  i am a unsocial freak but i just started home schooling this year so its pretty new to me. my plan is to get my GED before the year ends so that i can start college core classes, get ahead of the game, start lookin at what i want to be in life and what i can accomplish now while i have plenty of time. i have a new opinion on school now, especially high school and middle school. now asuming everyone went to K-4 grade u know ur abc's and 123's,  thats what u need to know and from there u can learn anything. so why in high school do we start learning everything over again just with bigger numbers and longer words. why not learn things that will benifit us and teach us more about what we want to learn. i am not saying that u should know what u want to be when u grow-up as soon as u get out on Pre-k but what u enjoy doing. say if u loved to build  with blocks or legos or whatever than u could take classes that would help u become better in that field, u wouldnt need to know why George Washington cut down a cherry tree, unless u wanted to know more about cherry tree wood. u may need to know some math for measurments and other stuff i couldnt begin to understand but not a whole lot of history. so exactly what does that make high school and the end of middle school........? a place to keep kids so we dont violate child labor laws. Public school is a free babysitting service and private school is one u have to pay through the nose for just to wear a uniform and act all posh (no offense) i mean dont get me wrong private school food is a lot better than public school food but there are not a whole lot of differences between the two unless u factor in religion. But in my point of view a lot of kids today in high school have a lot of creativity and potential but it is being beat out of them with all these rules and regulations. they r teaching us how to work for the man and never be the man. now not everybody can be home schooled it takes special people to deal with us kids but dont loose your creative edge do all u can at this day and age to be more than another zombie walking up and down the halls of your local high school. Travel abroad, think about what your  goals are, and what it takes to reach them. tell me what u think about the school system.
