Jeff's advice on dropping out from school is a huge claims, and i can see his point. But in my opinion, there's still things u need to learn and experience from school. You'll still need the basics, like language and a bit of this and that, calculation and stuff. Or else it would still be a big trouble for the parents to teach from scratch. Because not all the ppl are free from work or financial freedom. My point is, parents play an important role to guide your children to the right path. Constant communications and being an up-to-date parents so that the kids would look up to you, and not looking at you like you're some out-dated old folks who would just yelling at them for not doing this and that.
