Why would you prioritize making your kids sit in school over taking them and doing something fun like a vacation, given the option?
My first thought reading the headline was that more people are realizing the irrelevance of school and work, and prioritizing other things.

I'd go so far as to suggest that a more rounded "real-world" education improves their chances of making money. We need to stop thinking of "education" as a monolithic school concept that produces worker bees through rote memorization and repetition.

- seneca 3y agoEducation is important, not school. So long as school is a means to receive education it is important. A lot of people don't think it is anymore.

- xboxnolifes 3y agoIt becomes irrelevant when you're ahead on all of your studies (or if a 6 hour day is completable by you in an hour). I am in the group that took 1-2 yearly week long vacations in elementary school. Nothing was lost, since I just did the week of required work in half a day after returning from vacation.
