I'm not saying the system is broken, but when you have to "thrive" outside of it, that's not a win for the system—it's a workaround. The fact that kids like yours are finding ways to succeed in non-traditional settings shows the system isn't designed for their needs in the first place. It's not about failing, it's about not being built for the reality we're in now. If money wasn't a limit, I'd fix the gap between what the system offers and what people actually need. That's the real issue.
