Face it. About 35% of adolescents once they reach puberty are no longer suitable for a traditional educational setting. It is detrimental to them, other students and a waste of resources to force them into classrooms and school buildings.

It is detrimental to them, other students and a waste of resources to force them into classrooms and school buildings. You may be a little low on your %. Maybe only 30% of kids should be considered to go past 10 th grade. Let them take skill courses and a GED/High School Equivalency Test. When they pass, they are graduates. After, they learn real world job skills they can start earning their place/roles in society.

I think what you say is entirely accurate.

Our society is breeding entire generations of sociopaths with no conscience or sense of right and wrong. If we can’t prevent that from happening we can at least keep them away from the normals.

Our society also needs to go back in a manner of speaking. Back to the time when 15 year olds were considered adults and were treated accordingly. No more juvenile treatment. A 15 year old male who murders someone should get the death penalty just like anyone else.

Exactly right. Compulsory K-12 education is a sham created to warehouse teens, employ more teachers, and increase dependency on government.

The average K-8 education of 1910 is equal or superior to the education received by today’s 12th grade graduates.
