If I had a 12 year old kid, right now, I'd take him out of school. I wouldn't homeschool him either. He already knows how to read and write and he knows math. He'd never have to go to school again.

I would teach him how to shoot pool and play poker. The time he would be spending in school will be the time he practices these two games. After a few years of reading the right books, analyzing hands, working on stroke mechanics drills, he will already be talented enough to make the same money a college graduate makes.

I mean homeschooling him would only benefit him.

It's admittedly better than nothing, but nothing has to also be an option for most parents who aren't able or willing to homeschool.

I agree, nothing is still better than public school. Especially for their soul.
