Abolish High School (2015)
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.<p>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.<p>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 <i>did not want to be there</i> inflicted on anyone who dared to show interest in class, ask questions, or, <i>gasp</i>, pass classes.<p>Has anyone found an alternative path for their kids to avoid high school, and if so how did it go?
