Government, etc. They have no interest in doing research to show they are not necessary.<br /><br />If you are interested, there are many parent groups whose children are finding great success following this route. I also feature several grown adults in this blog who achieved success without high school.<br /><br />I'm happy to put anyone interested in touch with those who have selected this path.<br /><br />In the meantime, I'm sure you know the facts when it comes to the success of traditional public schools where only about half graduate in cities like NYC. You can also do on the ground research and talk to high school students and their teachers. See how many can talk about how well their school has helped them discover and develop "their" passions (not what someone else said was important) and engage in relevant and real work. If you do, please let me know. I'm having a really hard time finding those kids outside of the opt out community.Lisa Nielsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759123507185453030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-47197932012573256822011-05-24T18:06:54.298-04:002011-05-24T18:06:54.298-04:00Where is the research to support opting out of sch...Where is the research to support opting out of schools?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-60454749988283185282011-05-24T00:57:46.900-04:002011-05-24T00:57:46.900-04:00Excellent posting here people will get lot of info...Excellent posting here people will get lot of information with the help of posted information & topics from this blog. nice work keep it going.carrie penahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905161147034272013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-69034099943605459032011-05-23T13:54:30.514-04:002011-05-23T13:54:30.514-04:00@Melanie West, Thank you for your comment.
