The truth is that our kids are being "experimented on" all the time. Education is a constantly changing field of study and frankly we haven't figured it out yet. The industrial model that has been in place is only a few hundred years old at best and its not working for all kids and we're all still trying to figure it out.

Because Capitalism relies on growth. Maybe instead of propping up a financial model we can see is going to fail eventually we should consider alternatives and actually let the population drop. In my lifetime, 3 billion have been added to the global pop. The world isn't necessarily a better place because of that.

Frankly, it worked out for my sons, but I honestly still have concerns. Two of my sons went to colleges, one fancy, one not. They both have jobs in high tech making that SV money. Two of my other sons (who are younger) did not. One went to a web Boot Camp and now works for a defense contractor also making that tech money. The other now designs parts for an aviation start up, a skill he learned on the job. I honestly have no advice. "It depends" is the best I can do.
