Why was school created and why is primary and secondary school combined usually 12 years in total?

Why is the minimum school leaving age around the world mostly 13/14-18 and why does it vary between countries and states?

In America? Is that what you're asking?

AMERICAN SCHOOLS WERE CREATED TO TEACH THE BIBLE TO ALL. In Colonial times, there was 99% literacy. Today, 90%.

I am not asking only about American schools, but school around the world in general.

School was invented, worldwide, to teach, to indoctrinate, and to give parents a break (from the little rats)! :)

OK, thanks for this information.

I thought school might also have been invented to teach children and youth how to write, read, do arithmetic, history, geography et cetera; and also so that children do not need to work full-time. 

However, I do wonder why school is often 12 years instead of less or more years, and why the minimum school leaving age varies between different places.

I think things like more advanced mathematics are not necessarily needed in adult everyday life,

Hi, I suggest that it is very wrongheaded thinking to disregard learning mathematics. The person that does not understand mathematics will not understand much of anything, will be a drag upon society, their own family, and really even their self. Being a dolt that cannot even make "change for a dollar" is not cool, it is economically devastating.

How does the farmer calculate the need of his fields?  How does an architect quantify his designs? How does a cook make a loaf of bread even? Without knowledge of math they would each produce only one folly after another and go broke only be so ignorant they would be the last to know  of it.

What is it that anyone might want to do? Learn the math  of it, and it will become something that one may be proficient at doing; don't learn the math and they will be just an idle dreamer, and eventually just another loser complainer wondering why  not them and yet someone else has the success.

Each are to run the race as though  to finish first! If one can't even measure the distance  of the course, nor comprehend what  distance means how is one to even begin to compete.

Don't tolerate in self the lazy person's excuses. Instead compete like no one else, never quit, never! Work it all out, it will add up to success.
