I heard someone suggesting a change to education where the student learns at their own pace, and graduates when ready to move on to work or a university education. They also learn skills relevant to their choice of career.

I can think cons is young people will be leaving school without the needed maturity.

A pro is it'll help teachers focus on teaching kids skills that'll help them.

They should at least be required to be in school unt 18 but learning at their own pace. The emphasis on tests should be taken away and a demonstration of understanding with no help from others presented. They would additionally benefit from directly presenting their demonstration to their class. But in the ghetto something like this might not work so well.
