Not exclusive to the US. I’m Canadian and I found high school awful and traumatizing.

    That's too bad dude. Our highschool wasn't perfect but we had a lot of teachers that cared. And it was an art highschool so we had 3 separate full time art teachers that covered different disciplines. It was awesome fr a person that liked art

    I had teachers that cared a lot. It was everything else that I hated. The other students, the schedule, the mountains of rote work.

    High school had this nasty vibe that made my skin crawl all the time I was there. I didn’t want to go to class anymore. I stopped going and eventually dropped out.

    Decades later I finished high school through online courses and then went to university and got my degree. Wish I’d taken that option earlier.

    That's how my wife experienced school also, I think she started faking illness and then she quit around grade 10, later in life went to college and was an A student.

    Single path seems unhelpful for many people
