Adventure School ships, South Australia.

The industrial education system produces two types of casualties: 

1. Those who trade their happiness for a paycheque, and 
2. Those whose mental health collapses under the weight of confinement, where the classroom feels like a prison and depression becomes an epidemic. 
3. It’s no wonder many "drop out" to find adventure; ..... they aren't failing—they are escaping. 

TO: Members of parliament or their advisers, stop over-analysing the "why" behind the dropout crisis. Schools are cages to young the fledging teens 15-17. Our kids are drowning in depression and misery caused by large high school cages (zoos) .... Older teens 15-17 need a lifeline, not a lecture from Ancient politicians with 19th Century views of the value of schools. ... They need real experience learning in small team groups, not found in large child care school cages. ... All they get there is regurgitation.

Many, clever, "school damaged" children just walk out to prevent their pain. Aerie College offers different, safe, tribal experiential  learning. 

Parents, to prevent the fine for not sending your child to school, BE POSITIVE, enrol them with Aerie Timeout.

The cure isn't found in a classroom; it’s found in the wild. ... Real healing happens when teens disconnect from the school noise and reconnect through honest conversation in small teams with professional mentors.

We have the expertise. We have the teachers. The "Cocoon" platforms are available. Now, we need the $1,200,000 sustenance .

By using School Ships , we can "cocoon" these wild teens within the heart of wildness, living on boats, stripped of distractions and surrounded by nature, we don’t just treat the symptoms—we create the "happy now" magic.
