Ask HN: Would you prefer your kids educated for a job, or as an entrepreneur?

imo you cannot teach kids to be business people without proper real-life experience. So send them to regular schools, but create them an environment to be entrepreneurs. Without "working class" experience they will be not good managers and leaders. I think every person, especially one that are from rich families, should work as a sales clerk or similar to get real life experience.

Experience is gained on the job, not during education.

We have to agree to disagree. Education is a part of the real-life experience. Schools give you a chance to develop socially, work in teams, learn how to succeed. Education is not only books and library, its real life experience as well. For many people first grown-up experience they get.
