My actual high school experience. I enjoy math these days. When I was expected to learn and demonstrate it, I was an unstable teenager unsure if I hated myself or my parents more. (Spoiler alert: it was my parents >_>) Doing math made me slow down and make space in my head, which ~~let out all the dead Hanks and Deans~~ allowed the TRUAMA to flood in.

I like the idea of replacing school by an unordered collection of qualifications, which you can demonstrate anytime. Can visit classes or watch YouTube, take two weeks or five years.

We expect children and teens to study boring stuff while their hormones are boiling, and to decide how their next five decades should look like. Especially tough for those who quit early to start working "lower" jobs.
