What would u tell your child if they want to drop out of highschool

depends on what is their plan and how good they are at learning by themselves and basically how smart they are. I know people with almost no formal education but are insanely smart and good at learning , you could never tell they have little formal education but in general someone talks for a few minutes and you can tell their level of education. the general knowledge we get out of highschool, in this day and age, is the basic requirement to appear like a normal, functional person. I think its not even so much the things we learn but just the effect of being exposed to higher level of science, language and structured, logical thinking. on the other hand having educated parents I think has more effect on someone than how far they went in their studies. the level of sofistication of someone's language skills is often closely related to the education level of their parents.
