Well, one thing he could gain from HS is the ability to write an argument. What does he actually want? I tend to agree with you.

The problem is Jonsen, I'm not exactly sure what I want. I don't 100% think that dropping out is the best option. What I want is some kind of reform, I want a system that works for me. Not a system that 'works' for everyone or keeps kids off the streets.

Your only option now is home schooling or private tutoring.

His arguments, considering that he's not even quite sure what he wants, where enough to convinced me to try to convince his parents to let him get his GED and then dropout
