Copying my answer from the other message where you state this:
Are you implying we should school them the Spartan way rather then? Would that prepare them for life in a better way? Or, what do you think would be valuable then to do (purposely not saying learn) during those twelve years?
- graemep 1y agoI took my kids out of school from when they were about nine until they were 16. They went back into school with a better education and better prepared for life than those who stayed in school, exams (UK GCSEs and IGCSEs) passed with high grades as as evidence, and obviously better than good social and life skills, and excellent study skills and self-discipline. There are definitely better alternatives to the current school system.
- pandemic_region 1y agoYou don't say what they did as an alternative from age 9 to 16?
- graemep 1y agoThey were "home educated". I hate the term BTW because it is misleading, but "home school" is even worse.. I made a comment with more details https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43846310 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43846310
