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.

High school is a colossal waste of time. A (proper) 8th grade education will produce competent individuals who can perform any entry level job.
