I don't know why anyone could thing that the high school is a waste of time and money. It's like primary school, kids are getting knowledge there, which make them a succesfull people in the future, when they grow up.Аlso, when kids are in school, they are not out, with bad buddies, they don't drink alcohol, don't take drugs etc. It's better to be in school, with grow up people who takes care about you, than to be out, subjected on many wrong stuff.
