3 million kids (mostly boys) are given medication that’s supposed to make them sit still and focus.

But what if schools, not kids, are the problem?

One former public school student, Cade Summers, tells John Stossel that he hated the effect of the drugs — that it was like he had been “lobotomized.”

Cade’s parents took him off the “attention deficit” drugs and sent him to other schools. But Cade hated them all. “I would come home and I would sometimes just cry,” Cade tells Stossel.

Then he heard of a new type of school in Austin, Texas. It promised to let kids discuss ideas, and to do real-world work.

But the school, the Academy of Thought and Industry, is a private school that charges tuition.

So Cade started getting up at 3AM to work in a coffee shop to help pay the tuition.

What kind of school could possibly be worth that to a kid?

The school’s founder, Michael Strong, says kids learn best when they are given actual responsibility, real life work. “Teens need responsibility … Ben Franklin, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, started their careers at the age of 12 or 13,” he points out.

Nowadays people consider that abusive child labor, Stossel notes.

“I worked as a teen,” Strong said. “I loved it. Teens very often want to work.”

Strong’s schools do many things differently. Students get Fridays off to work on their own projects. School starts at 10am. There are no lectures — instead students read, and then discuss what they read.

That’s different from schools Strong once attended–and hated.

“School is 13 years of how to be passive, how to be dependent,” Strong tells Stossel.

“School is about aim, aim, aim, aim, aim, and never get stuff done. So I want students who just go out there and get stuff done, fail, get up, try again. That’s how we become creators, entrepreneurs … We want them to do what they love now.”

For Cade, that meant doing a marketing internship Fridays, where he did actual work.

When he completed Strong’s school, he got a job right away — at a tech startup that normally requires a college degree.

Another Academy graduate runs a successful metal music festival called “Austin Terror Fest.”

All kids at Strong’s schools work on some kind of project.

“I’m currently working on making a web-based chat application,” one boy told us. “I wanna be a programmer. I love programming”.

A girl at the school works at a paintball range on weekends. “If they love paintball, then they should do a business in that,” says Strong.

Most of his students also end up going to college. Strong points out, “We’ve had students admitted to top liberal arts colleges. Bard, Bennington…”

“Of course they do well,” Stossel interrupts. “You’re charging fat tuition. Only rich kids can afford to go there and they’re going to do well.”

“The kind of kids that we get come from all walks of life,” Strong responds. “We had a student from New Jersey… he was incapable of functioning in the highly structured public school systems … in the public schools needed a full time aide … He was costing the state an enormous amount of money. He came to our school … He did not need an aide.”

“Coming here is just healing. It’s incredible,” that student, Josh, told us.

Strong hopes his schools will be a model for other schools that let kids learn through real world work.

That approach works so much better for some kid that they willingly wake up at 3am to go to work to help pay tuition.

“It was me choosing my life,” Cade says.

Round Rock is a city in the U.S. state of Texas, located in Williamson County, which is a part of the Greater Austin, Texas metropolitan area. The 2013 census estimate places the population at 109,821. The city straddles both sides of the Balcones Escarpment, a fault line in which the areas roughly east of IH-35 are flat and characterized by having black, fertile soils of the Blackland Prairie, and the west side of the Escarpment which consists mostly of hilly, karst-like terrain with little topsoil and higher elevations and which is part of the Texas Hill Country. Located about 20 miles (32 km) north of downtown Austin, Round Rock shares a common border with Austin at Texas State Highway 45. In August 2008, Money magazine named Round Rock as the seventh-best American small city in which to live. Round Rock was the only Texas city to make the Top 10. In a CNN article dated July 1, 2009, Round Rock was listed as the second fastest-growing city in the country, with a population growth of 8.2% in the preceding year. Round Rock has a strong public education system. According to the 2008 ratings from the Texas Education Agency, the Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) ranks among the best in the state. Of 42 schools within it, twelve were rated exemplary and eleven are recognized. Round Rock is perhaps best known as the international headquarters of Dell, which employs approximately 16,000 people at its Round Rock facilities. The presence of Dell along with other major employers, a strong economic development program, favorable tax rates, and major retailers such as IKEA and a Premium Outlet Mall, and the mixed use La Frontera center, have changed Round Rock from a sleepy bedroom community into its own self-contained “super suburb.” Business credit scores, also known as trade or commercial scores, are used primarily by financial institutions to whom you might apply for credit, such as banks, credit card issuers, and leasing companies. A good business credit score can mean a lower interest rate or better terms with suppliers. A troubling score can be a bar to establishing trade relationships that may be critical to your growing business.

Most of the Finance and Insurance subsectors contain one or more industry groups of (1) intermediaries with similar patterns of raising and using funds and (2) establishments engaged in activities that facilitate, or are otherwise related to, that type of financial or insurance intermediation. Industries within this sector are defined in terms of activities for which a production process can be specified, and many of these activities are not exclusive to a particular type of financial institution.
