High school itself is a skewed priority. College even moreso, not to mention public education as a whole. The age of majority being functionally split three different ways is a skewed priority.
Nor is biological maturity, which is fairly set, comparable at all to the vileness of Islam marrying off ten year olds.
Makes me nostalgic for the days when a boy dropped out to work on the farm and his girlfriend followed suit and married him once he got established with his own land or with his becoming full partner on the family homestead.
Give me the days when school was the three Rs with maybe some bible or 19th-century literature thrown in for a taste of "morals" and "culture."
With the industrial revolution and the migration to the cities, Harvard creeps like Conant and Dewey began fucking with public education, making it a program of social engineering--a curse that has remained with us ever since, and it's getting worse.
