    75% of American teens are unhappy in high school. 66% are not engaged in learning. 50% are seriously depressed. School is a mental health catastrophe. It trains young people in misery, avoidance, and defeat. May school as we know it someday be regarded as barbaric.

    Adolescence in the US is a catastrophe. We predict that as research is done on diverse kinds of schooling, mental health will be much better in small, personalized programs that provide agency. Teens need community, meaning, and purpose. They don’t get it in traditional school.

    "I never liked going to school... I just wasn't interested. When I joined TSE, it was an entirely different story. It was a community of people who were striving to do what they believed in and wanted to do what their lives, and they were acting on it everyday. (1/2)
