In 18 years you could start a multi-million or billion dollar business

You don’t need formal education to live.

You need money, knowledge, and skill, which can be acquired best by doing not sitting in classrooms memorizing things you will never use or need and taking pop quizzes and test. Education is a waste of time, not mandatory. There’s no law saying children have to go to school. If I had kids they would not be in school. They’d be unschooled learning skills they need in life as adults. You spend 17 years as a “child” and the rest of your life as an adult.. Why learn adult skills after 18 instead of the first 17 years of your life?

Some people will argue that “kids should be kids”

I disagree agree. The kids should be kids argument is an agenda to program you into dictatorship. Children are bossed around, punished for not doing chores, spanked. Being a “child” has nothing to do with being a child. It has more to do with programming people to obey authority. As a child going to school, you learn more about authority and what happens when you do not obey. There’s no education agenda. You learn nothing in school about what you actually need like:

• conflict resolution,
• emotional intelligence,
• credit /personal finance,
• business, estate planning,
• healthy living, farming, gardening,
• building, inventing
