I think it's fine for kids who want to do that. You should try to get yourself into a situation around other motivated kids who want to do something great together as a tight knit focused team at that age; it's fun and you'll make lifelong friends.

It will naturally shake itself out by then as simply no one will accept it in this country as a widespread policy.
