Isn't it at least a bit more important whether she was frustrated? Did she want to be "pulled out"? Or did she leave?
I say this as someone who switched schools a few times, both of which was due to having a terrible time and my parents offering.
But I had a normal highschool experience, learned a lot about civics and a bit about history and literature. I mucked about with computers in my spare time, did a math undergrad, work in software dev now. I had a lot of support from my family, but they never made my decisions for me.
Ed: And I'm literally one of those devs who was given a book on programming at age 10 and never looked back. But at no point was highschool a waste of time. (Middle school, on the other hand...)
- KatyaEames 12y agoI genuinely wanted to be pulled out of high school. I don't know how it was in your day, but at this pint in time high school is about passing, not learning.
