Is another paper on some Jane Austen book or a trigonometry test really more important to their education than this?

WOW. Are you serious?
What will the vast majority of these kids do when they grow up? It sure won't be playing in the NBA, NFL or MLB.
I thought the purpose of high school as a whole was to get an education. A single book report or test might not matter for the whole, but they are one piece of the puzzle.
There is only a need for so many ditch diggers!
