I would argue it's a great way to get a feeler for if you can hack it as a doctor or not. If you can't handle dissecting a preserved small animal, you'll never make it through med school. Honestly more of high school should involve mini job simulation beyond the standard "office peon" that most of highschool simulates.

Sure, there's a point to it in higher education, but you'd be working with an animal specific to the need.

I was only talking about the high school level, where frogs are the default "starter". Should probably have specified, but figured it was implied enough by context

My school actually didn't use frogs, they went with fetal pigs, and cats for the anatomy class. That's just as a tangent unrelated to the original post and discussion.
