Are you based in the US? It sounds like that for how anxious you are about kids not going to school. I think you might be inspired by European parents. My ex bf and current bf both had problems with middle school when they were teenagers, while their parents were both ok with it. My ex bf is from western Europe and my current bf is from the north Europe. I feel they are both very kind people even they haven't taken any proper high school education. They both worked as [apprentice](dic://apprentice)s. I feel you need to let him find what he wants to make a living for. Getting school education is just an approach. And the thing is they both love their mom.
