      A letter from a teacher ro parents re sat tests...
      Dear Parents,
      As we approach the SATs testing period, I wanted to take a moment to remind you of something crucial: our children are more than just test scores. While academic assessments are important, they are not the sole measure of our children's worth or potential.
      Each child in our classroom is unique, with their own talents, passions, and dreams. While one may excel in mathematics, another may have a natural talent for dance. Another might have a gift for working with their hands and aspire to become an electrician or pursue a trade.
      As educators, our goal is to nurture and support every aspect of your child's development, not just their academic achievements. We want to encourage them to explore their interests, discover their strengths, and pursue their passions with confidence and enthusiasm.
      So as we prepare for the SATs, let's remember that these tests are just one small part of the journey. Let's celebrate our children for who they are and the potential they possess, both inside and outside the classroom.
      Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child's education.
      Warm regards,
      [Teacher's Name]
      I think it's pertinent.

    I (Kathy Bee) actually gave my opinion before. I said no because you didn't want him to decide on taking the easy out , when things get rough. You actually let him transfer and not quit. That was a great idea. I have two grown kids. I let my kids try out different things in order to see what they might be interested in....and it worked. They both have great jobs, married and they have kids. I also said many prayers. Thanks for including us Russell!

    We pulled our son out of school just after starting his junior year. About 2 months later took the GED and passed. In our state (Florida) the GED is an actual High School diploma. This worked out great for him. He will be starting trade/college next fall. We had no hestation for this choice since it was best for him. He had some hesitation because he would miss his friends but now agrees it was best.

    I love the family and community engagement. Ultimately it's his path and responsibility. What a joyful exercise to share and discuss as guides and idea storming to all learn and rejoice together without overbearing judgement. I think the focus on abundance, creativity, and inside out expression is present in the process. With that and commitment to the journey and opportunity, I think you can't go wrong. Keep learning and you can't lose...

    Hi Russell, I think the question is complex because their is a conflict between following and nurturing the social aspect of friends, tribe etc. The problem with the education system is that it is set up to create employees and create internal settings in your mental model to pursue the road of being an employee. It teaches us that the learning you make in school will be leveraged as an employee throughout life and that is what makes school useful. I don't think you want to teach him to be an employee..:) but to be the creator of his own circumstances in life. What he needs to realise is that you will never stop learning and the 3 core skills I believe you need in life is the abilities to: communicate, listening and learning to learn and if you should stay in school that is what you need to focus on. The other question is if you don't stay in school, which I think is a viable option, what's the gameplan? Is it a question of being tired of taking responsibility or is it a school thing? Responsibility is not something that you can opt out so if he is to quit school he needs a gameplan and take the responsibility to plan, learn, execute and follow up that gameplan. I think if you want to grow outward you first have to focus inward, let him focus inward and grow outward if he takes the responsibility he needs to take to create his path than whether he makes it in school or not should not be the issue. I have a 13 year old with a similar problem, he has a hard time focusing on school so I tried to motivate him by starting a dropshipping business with him to put him on a path to learn digital money-making skills he could use in life. All the best to you and your son, best Nino

    Thanks for the update Russell! Raising kids is tough and I think you made a great decision. Public school is NOT designed to produce successful creators but rather factory workers and I think that's becoming quite obvious to us all.

    I REALLY wish I'd had this opportunity presented to me. I hated highschool and resented my parents for it for the longest time. They wanted (and still want) me to take the traditional route and end up at university. I've so far ended up at university but also despise that decision. I always knew I wanted more, to make more, and build something. If I'd had rebound school or a fastracked system where they condensed everything on merit and academic competency, I'd have finished highschool probably 3 years earlier, and had way longer to decide what I wanted to do, or even more time to dedicate to the thing I wanted to do. I'm glad you came to this decision Russell, I'm happy for your son, and hope he chooses the path HE wants - so he's fulfilled in having the power to decide his own consequence

    You guys are great parents, and 5:28 your son, and your kids will be just fine. The next generation tends to be better than the previous. Our kids were meant for this time on Earth, even more so than us as their parents. I love that you found a reasonable option for him to still get his diploma. My oldest is doing a few classes online this summer because she feels the same.

    Love this and whilst I didn't get a chance to comment on the original video, I strong feelings on a suggestion. You actually went down the route I was going to suggest! A hybrid solution. I read this a book called Learning Game by Ana Fabrega which is awesome and is all about this. It talks about the school system not providing the path it used to so offers alternatives. As parents, I believe it's up to us to bridge this gap. I'm using a hybrid system right now (with 2 of my kids) with a programme called Synthesis AI - which is tailored to children. I think all kids should have choices and whilst homeschooling isn't an option for us (right now) - this gives us the best of both worlds right now. I'm all about empowering parents to support their kids be happy, healthy, emotionally intelligent and independently successful. So inspiring to see more change in a broken system!

    Well done! I myself many years ago left High School because I knew what I wanted to do. I am now a successful entrepreneur/businessman. I don't think dropping out is for everyone. However, if Russell's son is anything like him, drive, love for what he does, determination, etc it was the right choice!! Go after it young buck!!

    The traditional school system is broken my man. Time's are a changing. Think it's a great route you're taking. As members of the church as well I think when the brethren encourage us to receive an education that is not in any way limited to what "education" means NOW versus then. I am addicted to learning and education. But I went to college and dropped out after 2 weeks. It was BLATANTLY clear to me that the quality of education wasn't even on the same planet as what I could find online. My patriarchal blessing said a lot about getting education and at first I thought that meant go to school. It's crystal clear to me that education is education. The PURPOSE of education is meant to drive us to become more like Heavenly Father. Because education leads to a career, and careers push us. They put us in uncomfortable situations. We grow. That's wat I learned. Now I run a 6 figure/month business due largely in part to your books and teachings. Keep crushing it man!

    Hey Russell, I respect you and thank you for sharing this with us. My first response to this would be some questions: (1) What are the reasons why your son wanted to leave high school? (2) What did the school suggest to keep him engaged and what other options were explored? (3) Was there another regular high school available in your area for him to transfer to? (4) Is he interested in professions where a college degree is required? The "Rebound" school does seem like a good compromise and it sounds like he will learn the information he needs to earn a high school diploma.

    Cullen is only 11, is homeschooled, and already questions the value of the education system ha. At least at home we can base his curriculum around what he loves and around our beliefs. We can guide him better. He can also experience a ton of things vs just conceptually which helps a lot too. He's got a pokemon and live selling candy business now doing some solid numbers. His happiness is very important so we prioritize and adjust schooling based on all these things. To be honest though Jenn and I both can't stand homeschooling lol so we hired out a teacher for our daughter Maryn at home. She seems to really like that. The same things I mentioned above also apply to her. Another benefit not being in the school system is that they can understand who God created them to be, not defined by other kids at school or teachers. That's another reason we sailed around and lived on our catamaran for a year. I wanted them to discover who they were while getting guidance from us and no outside forces. If he wants to wear shorts with boots and she wants to wear high heels with gym shorts - they'll do it because that's what they feel like doing that day. It's not about looking cool or impressing your peers, it's about discovering who they are. Anywho a lot more we could discuss just hit me up!

    Wow, Just seeing this. My only question would be, why does he want to drop ouy? I will check out the first video. I just finished the 5 day YYFChallenge and I'm hooked. I've found my purpose and I'm so serious about offering to my last 2 kiddos of whom we are homeschooling, that if they start their own business/funnel I'll graduate them from highschool, no matter what. Public school is not the end all be all. who EVER has had to pull our their highschool diploma to show anyone for any reason in life? Public school/ middle/High School is traumatizing no matter how you spin it. I think you should homeschool all of your kids. Your Clickfunnels business/ platform/ experience is the ultimate education!! If your kids hang out with you and your wife all day, they would for sure be better off than being around their peers who have a higher chance of misleading them. Go Russell Go! Homeschool your kids 😀

    I think it was a bad idea.. Should have, and could easily have finished school.
    The only reason one should drop out is if you have a once in a lifetime opportunity of working on something else. Dropping out so he can sleep late, do other stuff isn't a good reason imo.

    Iv always had a problem with the words we choose to describe things ..
    Aka..
    "Consequences "
    Don't you feel that it's a negative result word.
    What if the " Consequences " are positive out somes.
    Like for example..
    I didn't drive my car after I have 20 shots at the bar..
    Very extreme.. I know.
    The Consequences are, I didn't kill myself or others..
    I didn't go to jail...
    So I personally think it as cause and effect..
    If someone out there reads this ..
    Has the opaset word to a negative outcome for the word
    Consequences...

    To be honest, traditional education system is too stereotype and has become too old school for the kind of diversity and complexity we have in the mordern world. i believe most people will do better if the take an alternative and more customized route for who they seek to become.
