Except that you will make a permanent under class even greater than the one you have now. There are whole cultures in the US who do not value education. If left to themselves, they would not ever go to school.

Mandatory schooling is supposed to be a ladder to those in those groups who want out, but come from a family where they can or will be unable to pay for it.

Cut them off from Welfare - Duh. The permanent underclass was CREATED by the single payer educational system. Expecting that single payer education will fix the problem that it caused is beyond idiotic.
