tbf, so am I.

i'm trying to be brutally honest about what i'm advocating, and a lot of people don't like it

I worked as a kid. Paper round at 8. £2 a week. I was rich. Nothing wrong with that.

i find it ironic how people think it's more humane to force kids to sit and listen for hours about shit they may never even use as adults

rather than letting them have real world experiences

I'm going to have to disagree there. I don't think work should get in the way of school till the kid is 14/15. It not only long division you're learning.

it depends on what is being taught and how

Like is say, it's not just academics you are learning.

Spending time with your peers, locked in a building where only the strong or smart survive is good for you.

instead of a dictatorship model where the teacher preaches to a large class, you could have smaller groups with mentors that takes them out in real life and shows them what things look like
i think thats the model society used to have before prussian schooling became fashionable where you wanted to instill patriotic loyalty and shape their social identities by getting them to submit to authorities

the underground history of american education by john taylor gatto is a good book

I'll give it a look.

I'm all for flexable teaching. If a teacher can see that a kid is not going to get any grades but is going to do well on a building site, I have no problem with that kid never even seeing the inside of an exam room.

But thats why I say there should be a minimum age that they can drop out at about 13/14/15. You should at least try to see if they can.
