I was reading News.com.au this morning and came across an interesting article about a young boy by the name of Blake Peebles, who has officially left school for a video game. Now this doesn’t come as a surprise for many, however he has full support by his parents. There have been many blogs writing about this, many articles with different point of views and it’s quite unfortunate that people are scolding his parents for not pushing him to continue his so called ‘needed’ education. Before you begin to think negative thoughts about what I’m saying, I will question you with the following sentence:

Follow your dreams and succeed within yourself.

Isn’t that the daily motto of successful people?

I do believe the education system is for the masses and doesn’t teach everything about life including proper financial knowledge, however, he is getting home schooled. If his parents believe this is the right direction for their son, I suppor them. I do also know, deep down all parents want the best for their kids, no matter the direction.
