High School is a time waster. It's designed to waste as much time as possible so that parents don't have to pay for child care. At the same time it's putting kids into extreme stress situations. Sitting in a classroom for hour long stretches, overcrowding, bullying, authoritarian discipline and arbitrary rules. 5 hours of lectures per day, 5 days a week with a vaguely humiliating hour of physical education which involves stripping in front of other people. If the kid is ready for college, then do it!
