Pulled my grandaughter out at 15 because of the lack of learning, gangs, dumbed down tests etc. She got so bored with the school drudge she stopped caring about learning entirely.
Home schooled her at 15, she passed her state GED tests and received her HS diploma at 16, 3 days after her 17th birthday taking Math, English and Nursing pre-requisites at the 4 yr local college as a full time college student.
She would have ended up a dropout at 16 and flipped burgers forever if nothing would have been done. Now she is on the road to becing an RN by the time she’s 20.
Your granddaughter’s story is not a happy one for the Left. If she had ended up a 16-year-old dropout [and impregnated by a series of unemployed fathers], she would have been ignorant, impoverished and govt-dependent — an ideal citizen for the Party of Jim Crow.
