Another reason that phonics aren't taught in high school is that English is not a terribly phonetic language. If you've never seen it, look up the “I love Lucy” scene involving Ricky reading a story that uses almost every way that “ough” can be pronounced: through, though, bough, enough, etc.

Why don't American high schools teach phonics? Because if you have not learned to read by high school, you probably cannot learn to read using phonics. Contrary to many bloggers and rumor-mongers, phonics was and is still the main way reading is taught in America.

Why do letter names exist in parallel with their phonic sounds?
It goes back to the days of Latin, since unlike the Greek alphabet, which had actual names for its letters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon etc.), it mostly took the sound that the letter stood for and if needed added an /e/ (short or long) to it.
