I'm sure PQ will do the right thing for HIS son, it's interesting to see all the different opinions on this topic though.
This first statement makes my case in a way. I have never had to answer to "my boss" as I have been self employed my whole life.

Obviously there are exceptions but to suggest that PQ should take his kid out of honors courses because "most" million and billionaires are uneducated just isn't a fair statement.

PQ you opened a can of worms with this one!
I may be wrong as I have been before, but I do not think anyone stated "most" million and billionaires are uneducated. Spending time and money in a formal school is not the only way to gain an education.
