What was the second one? I know you quit your job to focus on your startups. Was there a previous time you left school as well or was it something else?
(I agree with all you are saying in this thread, BTW - I dropped out of high school myself when I realized both that I could, and it was wasting precious hours I could use doing more useful things. I won't say I advocate this for everyone, but it's definitely the right choice for many kids who are learning on their own already and are just spinning their wheels with the sorts of shallow coverage of topics taught by non-experts that secondary schools offer.)
