Are you worried that the mechanic that you don't want to send through high school isn't going to get into college?

Do you think that's the goal? I don't think that's the goal.

> Too many people I grew up with developed a bad taste for the education system

I do not have much regard for the education system.

The question of whether it's worth trying to cultivate an educated population versus whether our education system is good, those are different questions. Learning to code outside school did me more good. The main things I got from school were bad habits, completely malformed expectations about the world, a severely skewed idea of history, and misanthropy.
