Yes I did and I actually think it's a good concept. I remember seeing a kid on TV that had sizeable business before his 16th birthday. His parents were also successful business owners that began treating him like an adult at around 8. Their philosophy was that you treat them like adults and they will be adults. I kind of felt sorry for the kid though since he missed out on being a kid.

I really don't doubt that they will come to the conclusion that they need these things. For example though, there will be some kids that just hate math because they have some mental block or lack aptitude. No matter who forces them to study this necessity it must be someone, themself or their teacher. All I'm saying is that they need to get the 3 Rs one way or the other. I do think those that possess the required self discipline will likely end up with a much more useful education than their peers from institutional school systems.
