If they can manage to free students of all ages from the horrible, failing government education system, it will all be worth it. I look forward to the day when people don’t have to be locked in classrooms marching lockstep with kids the same age for 16+ years. Most schools, including private schools, are still doing things the way they were done 100 years ago. At some point, education has to change to become more about the individual student and not about warehousing kids so both parents can work.

Doing things the way things were done 100 years ago except for the removal of content. The process is the same but there is no longer any educational reason for the process. No history. No Civics. No geography. Little science. No English. Little to no arithmetic. Minimal reading. Etc.
Younger folks may think the schools are teaching arithmetic but they are not. They have mostly abjured memorization and ordered procedure in favor of calculators and guesswork. Schools reinforce thinking in short bursts, perpetuating the attention span of five year old children.
Wife just retired from 37 years of teaching. She and I through her have watched a steady deterioration of "education" in that time that started with conditions that were much deteriorated from those of our own time in school.
