I write this instead of doing my high school homework. I, a sixteen year old boy, am taking control of my education.

First, what matters is what I think education means. I suggest a programme, that stands parallel to what the Wikimedia Foundation illustrates, where all that a school should be is an enormous resource. It's teachers should be resources, whatever and how ever that means to students. Students should study only where their interests and their readings take them. The "well rounded" dogma of contemporary school has missed the boat, they have missed an opportunity to sponsor true Renaissance. Da Vinci learned the things he did because they fascinated him or because he sought understanding. We should free this nature of intention, natural interest, and natural motivation from all forms of contemporary schooling. I know the main reason I do not enjoy math is because i have no stellar aptitude for it. I love logic, and I recognize the intersection. i know, that is I were allowed to dive into these topics on my own, I would find interest and excitement in this study. I gave found that i love physics, even though all it is is math, and that I am no physics guru, I don't want to be and I just enjoy the exercise and the logical discovery. Why must all students who want to study high level English then struggle with high level Math, just to afford the opportunity to to learn at a high level institution about English? This harms our ability to harness potential, not "separate the chaff from the wheat" because the human race has no idiots. People with athletic talents should spend their day doing such, pushing the limits of human physiology as far as they can by their own motivation.

The motivation of money is a false motivation. You should be doing work that you would do for free. Who, you say, would clean the gutters, work on the factory line. My answer is if their is no one that is willing to do the labor for itself, then we as a society have no right to have this thing. We cannot just have poor people be our reserve army of labor, to sweep the kitchens and tend our children, pump our gas and make our iPods. We need people who love to solve problems solve our problems and have people who love to build things, build things.

I want to to learn and so i want to drop out of school. Ironic, isn't it? I am what teachers dream about, a kid who is filled with an unending stamina for intellectual pursuit, and I hate school...something is wrong.
