My pocket book. Well I hope your little one is enjoying school. Kindergarden can be so much fun.

Just because education isn`t mandatory after junior high school doesn`t mean that you can get by without it. You can barely get a decent job without a university degree, let alone without a high school diploma. Japan has some of the highest educational expectations (in terms of the base educational level of the workforce) in the world.
Around here, even McDonald's requires you to either be in high school or to have graduated.
It sounds like your son is really motivated. I wish him (as well as your wallet) the best.
