I duly get your point, but my opinion is that most kids aren't well equipped to learn in the non-traditional way. The current system doesn't favor everyone, but I think it works best for the average kid who doesn't have exceptional abilities or the intrinsic motivation to learn in a non-standardized way.

My concerns would be: a) I think current schooling causes a good portion of the lack of motivation b) Most kids not caring about memorizing information about Sumer or Freud seems like a feature and not a bug [Caveat that a couple things like literacy, civics, and basic math need to stay universal.] c) I think most of highschool's value is currently sheepskin effect anyway I don't disagree that this wouldn't work for everyone. Some kids do need the structure and routine. I just am not convinced what we have right now should be the standard that's incredibly difficult for kids to opt-out of.
