There was at least
one school in which I was effectively a one-person independent
study project all year long for the academic subjects. Worked out fine.

What's the point of going to school every day to study independently?
You could do the same thing at home. It would make more sense to
attend college classes while still living at home. With online
courses, living near a college may not be necessary. If a student has
exhausted the curriculum offered by the school district, I think the
school district ought to pay for college classes. If my kids are in
that situation, I will try to make this happens, whether or not I need
to pay for it.
