The problem isn't the time spent in school, the problem is the school itself.
We teach people to be the status quo, we don't encourage them to excel.
For me, summers were spent learning about computers and all the magic spells that I could cast to get them to do whatever I wanted them to.
For some students, school is holding them back. If we want to fix things, we need to abandon this psychotic idea that all students are the same, that there are no dumb kids and that you can just dump 20 similarly aged kids into a room that has somebody standing at the front of it talking at them and that they will somehow come out of the situation better for the experience.
