This really resonates for me. High school was a colossal waste of time, and a very unhealthy environment, that I think made me a worse person for a time.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how to help my kids skip high school, but I don’t quite know how to do it.
As the author, I don’t think that it should be banned, but I agree that kids should not be forced to attend. If anything, merely removing the mandate might make the experience of those who stay a lot better. For me a lot of the stress came from the hostility and bullying that the kids who did not want to be there inflicted on anyone who dared to show interest in class, ask questions, or, gasp, pass classes.
Has anyone found an alternative path for their kids to avoid high school, and if so how did it go?
