The longer I’m in the workforce, the more apparent it becomes that 18 years of schooling did much less than it could have to prepare me for the real world. Talk about a sub-optimal ROI. So I’m strongly considering home schooling my children. Have you explored this route? Thoughts? 🙏

A friend of mine made a co-op school with a few nearby parents who were feeling this same way. Seemed to work well for them to create a more holistic education plan, feed their kids well, etc Also will add, my time in high school in the hospital was way more useful/educational than what I learned in public school

Had a bunch of medical complications so was out of school more than I was in. Learned more about biology and medicine in appointments and on pubmed than I did in AP bio, AP Chem, neuro courses at the local college, anatomy, etc that I took in high school.

Resulted in me speaking at medical continuing Ed. conferences when I was 14 and starting my first business (health sphere) at 16. Figured life’s short so might as well have impact while we’re here. Then I’d often skip class to do business deals when I was in school.

Now my high school does have a program where students can get their CNA and other real world experience as well as start a business, which is fun to go back an mentor at. So they are legitimately in high school in a clinic. Some schools (public included) seem to be taking more real world approaches. @saymore done
