A letter from a teacher ro parents re sat tests…
Dear Parents,
As we approach the SATs testing period, I wanted to take a moment to remind you of something crucial: our children are more than just test scores. While academic assessments are important, they are not the sole measure of our children’s worth or potential.
Each child in our classroom is unique, with their own talents, passions, and dreams. While one may excel in mathematics, another may have a natural talent for dance. Another might have a gift for working with their hands and aspire to become an electrician or pursue a trade.
As educators, our goal is to nurture and support every aspect of your child’s development, not just their academic achievements. We want to encourage them to explore their interests, discover their strengths, and pursue their passions with confidence and enthusiasm.
So as we prepare for the SATs, let’s remember that these tests are just one small part of the journey. Let’s celebrate our children for who they are and the potential they possess, both inside and outside the classroom.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child’s education.
Warm regards,
[Teacher’s Name]
I think it’s pertinent.
He’s got some great parents leading him, no chance he fails.
Thank you!
Thanks.
We pulled our son out of school just after starting his junior year. About 2 months later took the GED and passed. In our state (Florida) the GED is an actual High School diploma. This worked out great for him. He will be starting trade/college next fall. We had no hestation for this choice since it was best for him. He had some hesitation because he would miss his friends but now agrees it was best.
Great sollution Russell! More practical for his specific needs but also wondered what about his friends . I find school was learning how to cultivate friendship n relationships as much as learning subjects. Keep the updates coming .. as always your leading the field ..
The First time I saw Russell. He looked like John Cena. No wonder he said he wanted to become a wrestling coach.
Great decision-combo of thoughtful, strategic and loving. He’s fortunate to have you as his parents.
Thank you

Time will tell. Let him keep exploring his options. Eventually he will find his path
I (Kathy Bee) actually gave my opinion before. I said no because you didn’t want him to decide on taking the easy out , when things get rough. You actually let him transfer and not quit. That was a great idea. I have two grown kids. I let my kids try out different things in order to see what they might be interested in….and it worked. They both have great jobs, married and they have kids. I also said many prayers. Thanks for including us Russell!
Thanks for the update Russell! Raising kids is tough and I think you made a great decision. Public school is NOT designed to produce successful creators but rather factory workers and I think that’s becoming quite obvious to us all.
Cullen is only 11, is homeschooled, and already questions the value of the education system ha. At least at home we can base his curriculum around what he loves and around our beliefs. We can guide him better. He can also experience a ton of things vs just conceptually which helps a lot too. He’s got a pokemon and live selling candy business now doing some solid numbers. His happiness is very important so we prioritize and adjust schooling based on all these things. To be honest though Jenn and I both can’t stand homeschooling lol so we hired out a teacher for our daughter Maryn at home. She seems to really like that. The same things I mentioned above also apply to her. Another benefit not being in the school system is that they can understand who God created them to be, not defined by other kids at school or teachers. That’s another reason we sailed around and lived on our catamaran for a year. I wanted them to discover who they were while getting guidance from us and no outside forces. If he wants to wear shorts with boots and she wants to wear high heels with gym shorts – they’ll do it because that’s what they feel like doing that day. It’s not about looking cool or impressing your peers, it’s about discovering who they are. Anywho a lot more we could discuss just hit me up!
Wow, Just seeing this. My only question would be, why does he want to drop ouy? I will check out the first video. I just finished the 5 day YYFChallenge and I’m hooked. I’ve found my purpose and I’m so serious about offering to my last 2 kiddos of whom we are homeschooling, that if they start their own business/funnel I’ll graduate them from highschool, no matter what. Public school is not the end all be all. who EVER has had to pull our their highschool diploma to show anyone for any reason in life. Public school/ middle/High School is traumatizing no matter how you spin it. I think you should homeschool all of your kids. Your Clickfunnels business/ platform/ experience is the ultimate education!! If your kids hang out with you and your wife all day, they would for sure be better off than being around their peers who have a higher chance of misleading them. Go Russell Go! Homeschool your kids 😀
The traditional school system is broken my man. Time’s are a changing. Think it’s a great route you’re taking. As members of the church as well I think when the brethren encourage us to receive an education that is not in any way limited to what “education” means NOW versus then. I am addicted to learning and education. But I went to college and dropped out after 2 weeks. It was BLATANTLY clear to me that the quality of education wasn’t even on the same planet as what I could find online. My patriarchal blessing said a lot about getting education and at first I thought that meant go to school. It’s crystal clear to me that education is education. The PURPOSE of education is meant to drive us to become more like Heavenly Father. Because education leads to a career, and careers push us. They put us in uncomfortable situations. We grow. That’s wat I learned. Now I run a 6 figure/month business due largely in part to your books and teachings. Keep crushing it man!
I love the family and community engagement. Ultimately it’s his path and responsibility. What a joyful exercise to share and discuss as guides and idea storming to all learn and rejoice together without overbearing judgement. I think the focus on abundance, creativity, and inside out expression is present in the process. With that and commitment to the journey and opportunity, I think you can’t go wrong. Keep learning and you can’t lose…

Hi Russell, I think the question is complex because their is a conflict between following and nurturing the social aspect of friends, tribe etc. The problem with the education system is that it is set up to create employees and create internal settings in your mental model to pursue the road of being an employee. It teaches us that the learning you make in school will be leveraged as an employee throughout life and that is what makes school useful. I don’t think you want to teach him to be an employee..:) but to be the creator of his own circumstances in life. What he needs to realise is that you will never stop learning and the 3 core skills I believe you need in life is the abilities to: communicate, listening and learning to learn and if you should stay in school that is what you need to focus on. The other question is if you don’t stay in school, which I think is a viable option, what’s the gameplan? Is it a question of being tired of taking responsibility or is it a school thing? Responsibility is not something that you can opt out so if he is to quit school he needs a gameplan and take the responsibility to plan, learn, execute and follow up that gameplan. I think if you want to grow outward you first have to focus inward, let him focus inward and grow outward if he takes the responsibility he needs to take to create his path than whether he makes it in school or not should not be the issue. I have a 13 year old with a similar problem, he has a hard time focusing on school so I tried to motivate him by starting a dropshipping business with him to put him on a path to learn digital money-making skills he could use in life. All the best to you and your son, best Nino
