[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School just isn’t fun anymore. It’s not about exploration or making friends. From one year before they start tracking math in your neighborhood, it’s about executive function and taking all the right classes. And it never ends. You might as well stop spending money and start making money, because you’re not having fun anyway. [/quote]

This. If your only goal.is to make good grades and get the highest paying job possible, why not finish as fast as possible? College is essentially trade school to these types..[/quote]

To “types” that aren’t rich, yeah [/quote]

Actually, it seems like UMC kids who don't need to do this or graduating the earliest. I don't understand it, except that they don't really want to be in school and just want to make $$$ asap. [/quote]

High-performing UMC kids have a boatload of AP or IB classes with great scores on the exams to boot. Additionally they generally don’t have to work for money much during college so can take 15+ credits every semester or summer classes that are $1K+ a pop. Most are very well prepared for college so don’t need to repeat classes and won’t fail any.[/quote]
