A high school senior who didn’t want to choose sides between joining last month’s National Gun Control Walkout or waiting it out in a study hall decided to just go to his classroom as usual. This netted him a suspension.

Giving someone a suspension for that is almost as ridiculous as locking up an 18-year-old in the waste-of-time known as modern high school when he could be out learning a trade by being an apprentice or, alternatively, attending college classes. I’m so glad we homeschooled our kids for high school; by age 18 they were either working, going to college or both.
