Not quite sure where you’re going with that. At one level, schools are obviously babysitters. They’re looking after our kids for most of the hours we’re at work. But, they’re also professional educators. While I could teach my kids, it would take up most of my time, and I’m a better contributor as a software developer.

As for what the kids are learning, there are basics they need to learn, some of which we’ve cut in the need to get them ready for being an employee. We need to offer the basics, and then offer them the ability to go to trade school - yes, trade school - or college after that. We don’t really need them to jump into the major workforce until they are ready. And we should pay for all education. I even think we should offer taxpayer paid continuing education classes for every level (evenings or weekends at high schools). We’re going to pay for it one way or another, so we might as well do it when it’s cheap.
