Yes, she would be wasting time in History class, but she would also be missing Mathematics class or Physics class, Chemistry or Biology class. God forbid economics (if they teach that in USA). Being good developer is also about able to write out articles, so English class does help there. The OP is privy to his situation more than I am so, I give a lot of benefit of doubt, I would not let my daughter quit unless she is solving real world problems and making some real dough off of it. That would be the standard I would aspire for dropping out of High school. Now College is a different story, I do not recommend if the person is already proficient coder.

- sremani 12y agoTo honest formal education/credential-ism had rather positive effect on my life, one of its benefits is I was able to immigrate to US, without a college degree and getting a passing grade in the aforementioned subjects I would not have made it. As surprising as it sounds, coming to America was my goal 15 years ago. Learning for Learning sake was the new bug that caught me after I landed on these shores.
