I believe in the technical school method that the British and French use. Academics are not for all. I have had students who had exceptional skills in what we consider trade skills. They are probably making more money now than I do as a teacher. Fourteen should be the decision age.

Yes, because education is what allows them to stand out.

Of course they should. I had to – why not them? The downside of an unhappy child does not outweigh the benefit of an education.
Now days kids are tought to think for themsevles and be independent and to do what they feel is the right thing….. if a kid does not want to stay in school then that is their choice….yes their life is going to be hard and yes they will struggle to make ends meet…inform them and let them know the consiquences and let them decide for themselves
