@ins0mniak @KingOfWhiteAmerica if you read a good biography of Thomas Edison, he was already in business at 13 making about $50 a week, which in today's money is around $2000 a week.

School wastes incredibly important years; not just for gaining experience, but for building a nest-egg and establishing one's self and one's reputation in the community. It's missed opportunities for apprenticeship and networking with capable people.

It's confining the majority of one's relationships to similarly young, immature, dissociated people instead of connecting with the community one lives in.

It's great for creating the temporary tribes of youth, and diasterous for passing on traditional skills and knowledge.
