Quote:this is another problem.  In this thread to varying degrees we have all come to the consensus that at current the first 13-15 years that we have a child in the current education system are pretty much worthless in terms of developing a marketable skill set?  At what point do we as a common sense society decide to stop wasting these kids time and billions upon billions of dollars feeding this system that we all agree is dysfunctional?  I trust parents making choices with their kids futures more than giving local schools non-negotiable monopolies.
