The real relevance of content in school is often terrible, but until we can truly figure out what we care to educate our children about (which is exceedingly difficult without being able to agree on what skills will be needed in the future economy) compulsory education will remain hindered in this way.
At least for me, I would like to see a de-emphasis of content and A stronger focus on preparing young people to educate themselves, to be curious about our world. If you bring this to the table on your own I would hardly worry about 'learning less after school'. After all, only you have done your learning this far in life. School is only one structure for learning (that is often expected to be/treated as if it's the only one).
