For your consideration: Carolina kid drops out of school to play Guitar Hero.
All right. Maybe that's a touch inaccurate. Blake Peebles is being homeschooled and his parents believe in the possibilities of the national gaming circuit.
On its face, it seems a little irresponsible of the parents, but I think it's worth pointing out that they're acknowledging and encouraging a talent that their child has, which is something good parents do. Plus, the story claims he's getting his school work done, but I'd venture that's cos Frau Peebles says, "You can't play games until your homework is done," like my momma done to me. (She learnt me English good, too.)
Still, I find it a little silly. I can't help but think if the kid is going to drop out of school, he might as well be playing in a real rock band.
