A few months of kindergarten first, which (for assorted reasons) then motivated about eight years of mostly self-directed homeschooling, followed by about 5 total years of community college + undergraduate university (in which I learned very little). Rounding up I guess 6yrs of typical schooling would be more accurate, but I could probably justify discounting the university years somewhat given that less time is spent in-class and 80% of what I learned I did on my own, outside of coursework.
I’ve considered grad school but I think at this point I’m too set in my autodidactic ways to adjust to the demands of an academic environment.
I’m often glad that my exposure to “schools” was extremely minimal (~5yrs).
Including elementary? Good work—how did you manage?
