One wonders how kids who get 'postponed successes' will act when a 'postponed success' gets their sorry arse fired from a job. Shizzle like that also assumes that a person will immediately stop developing once they leave school, so we'd better not fuck up their childhood! Quick, wrap them all with cotton wool!
Of course, as any adult will tell you, that's just untrue. For instance, I learnt more useful life and social skills in the 12 months following my drop-out of year 12 than in the five years prior. Specifically, how to act like an adult, and not a stupid kid.
