Hermione's idea had not come on a whim. Like all boarding schools, Hogwarts allowed students to go home once a week. Only unloved children like Harry Potter would choose to stay at school. Hermione took this opportunity to return home and explain her thoughts to her parents.
It had to be said that Hermione's parents were far more open-minded. They greatly praised Hermione's idea, while specifically reminding her—if she intended to give up becoming a witch, she needed to do so as early as possible.
Hermione's parents had a good reason for saying this, because what Hogwarts taught was completely useless in modern society. This was also the main reason wizards seemed no different from illiterates who had just emerged from deep mountains whenever they entered civilized society.
After all, Potions, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Transfiguration could not help someone get into Oxford, and Hogwarts would not teach advanced mathematics, calculus, Mendel's three laws of inheritance, or relativity.
Of course, this was only a suggestion. In the end, Hermione's parents said that no matter which path Hermione chose, they would support her.

For example, if she wanted to study biology and become a scientist, she could simply put wizards out of her mind and focus on the subjects she wanted to study. But Hermione was still a child, after all, and had no fixed plans for the future.
The worst outcome would be for her to give up becoming a witch, only to fail to find the job she
