School education focuses on Lower Order Thinking Skills, which is mostly related to reading textbooks and producing what they have learned in the exams. Thinking outside the box, which requires a lot of holistic knowledge (including general knowledge) is not accessible via school education. When you come to high school with just the academic exposure, no college will like it to give an admission. They want the students to be well-rounded and have 21st century skills like cognitive, critical thinking and be problem solvers.
And above all, High school can be a tough time for all students- you’re trying to study for exams, while simultaneously focusing on your future college to pave the way for your career.
