Another reason why homeschooling is easier than ever.
I will offer this observation. Eventually, people will realize that if a kid is allowed to proceed at his own speed and level....he’s pretty attained the education level you’d expect at 18...but at the age of 16. Then we will all come to the table and ask why continue to make the magic number “12”. Offer the kid an exam in the tenth grade....if he passes, then offer him a chance to graduate and move onto a community college for one year of state-provided tuition. You can figure you will save on teacher cost and it just makes sense to offer the kid a chance to exit.
I’ve believed for twenty years that we’ve got the wrong plan on the board....and this new IT relationship to school and a chance for kids to move at their own speed will eventually prove that point.
