I 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 2y agoYou don't say what they did as an alternative from age 9 to 16?
- graemep 2y 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
