I guess the flip side would be: if the intention of school is to best prepare students for the real world, how does any of this accomplish that? By delaying exposure until adulthood, you severely limit their ability to adapt to unknown and unfamiliar concepts (just look at how the realization that we are not special little snowflakes is messing up my generation). But hey, it's less BS from helicopter parents that the schoolboard has to deal with.
