Why waste all those years in high school, taking so many courses that do not have college credit?

You missed the point entirely.

If college courses are merely a repeat of high school courses, they are a waste of time and money. College courses should be more advanced.

If a child is ready for college why bother with the baby-level high school courses? Seems to be a waste of a life, to me.
