First off, the wording in the title is very bad when you actually read through the article. My first impressions were negative until I came across the sentence stating that he picked up independent studies.

There is nothing wrong with home schooling. Much like several others have stated, with the correct tutors, home schooling is a better learning environment that public or private schools. The one on one attention gives a student with a good tutor unparalleled chance for success. As his parents said, he is actually doing better, wanting to do work, and is overall happier.

To continue along with the home schooling concept, what do you think that all of the teenage actors/actress and singers do for education. They sure as well don’t sit around and perform music or act in front of the camera all day. They have their own independent tutors so that they can learn just like any other kid, yet I hardly ever see anybody complain about how they will never be able to make it in life when their teenage career ends. Secondly, I know what it is like to be a “reject” in high school from experience. Starting in fourth grade and going until my Senior year in High School, I hated almost every class, the exceptions being music classes, both bands and choirs. Being an advanced student, I was never challenged enough to keep interest and often found myself in detention for sleeping in class. I found that when I was around 14 years old, independent studies were the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I was able to work at my own pace and focus on the things that I needed to focus on. These two things cause me to start enjoying the learning process and I quickly began learning so much that I was able to skip 2 years of high school from what I picked up on my own.

Now, I’m not saying that most people are smart enough to do this, but all kids, smart or not, are able to work at a more efficient rate when they are one on one or studying independently. I bet almost anything that he will be very successful in life if things are going how his parents and himself say they are going.

what 16 year old DOESNT think school is a waste of time!

he better be winning money not fucking combo meals!

then id let him drop school

Do I now know never to bother with Bre, because he or she is being overly judgmental on the internet?

I learned next to nothing in high school. What I learned came from reading extensively and doing outside activities. I taught myself everything I needed to know and finished my pathetically easy schoolwork in less than half an hour each day. I’m not saying every public school is crap, but for some people it’s a waste of time.
