13 year old Logan LaPlante: Hackschooling Makes Me Happy
Logan Laplante is a 13 year-old boy who was taken out of the education system to be home schooled instead.

And then morning comes, and I’m running around like a headless chicken and I’m lucky if I remember my keys and bus pass on the way out the door, let alone find time to throw a tasty lunch together. But with a teensy amount of planning, delicious lunches can be just a few easy steps away.
