I agree with you. I spent five years getting a B.A. because my mother insisted college was necessary. I got out of college only to find most jobs wanted someone with work experience not a degree. I realized that I would have been better off spending those five years developing skills through volunteering, internships, or trade school. I regretted college.

I totally, totally, totally agree with your thoughts on government school, but cringe and hesitate to share when I see typos. I’m not an English teacher, just a home school mom. 🙂

“Schools offer students nothing, that will earn them a penny above the minimum wage.”
No comma needed.

“Now I’m not pretending that anything I could say, will change the course of public schooling. ”
Comma needs to be after ‘now’, not after ‘say’.

“If your kids are planning to attend college anyway, discovery is even more important in high school. It is crazy how many kids blindly pick a professional path without ever working in the field, sink tens of thousands of dollars into college, and waist 4-years studying, only to discover after graduation that they hate their job.”

Waist should be waste.
