Yeah, actually this is what I did. I moved to Europe a year after high school. I really feel that i've taught myself more in 4 years than I learnt in 13 years of schooling.
I think school is just a way to aviod the responsibility of parenthood, and that it is a system well set up to ensure that parents can continue working full time jobs and paying taxes.
