Here's a radical thought...maybe the system needs to change. I think the desire to skip stems from the institionalization of education. I have a daughter who is an honor student and every day she wishes school was less pressure filled and started later. There are evenings where she's in tears because she had come home from school and had done homework until bed. Not an hour off. She's a representation of success in school, can you imagine a student with less support or who is struggling? We need to change how we teach our kids. Look toward Norway's public schools.
