Since any women can pop out a child regardless of her ability to properly raise them, having compulsory education laws are a very good thing...
I know as a society we are completely failing a large portion our children through corrupted school system, teachers unions and a host of other societal ills...but a educated population is what a civil growing culture does to maintain a level of prosperity and peace...
To many parents "free assembly" means free to do nothing to educate their children...
Public schools are not educating children. It will only get worse.

Where are the studies proving that learning happens in a school? Answer: There are none.
Studies that would separate out that which is learned in a classroom from that which is learned **at home** by way of the parent, tutors ( paid and unpaid,) study clubs ( as in common in Asian communities) and the child himself doing homework **in the home** have never been done!
It is completely possible that we spend up to $30,000 per year per child on government institutionalization that is possibly completely ineffective!
It is completely possible that the only thing government K-12 internment camps do is send home a very expensive curriculum that is followed by the parents, tutors, and the child **in the home**!
Where are the studies that prove schools teach? Answer: There are none.
It is unknown where learning happens. Is it in the school by a teacher, or **in the home** by parents, tutors ( paid and unpaid), or the child himself doing homework **in the home**.
Please read my post #42.
Plenty of illiterate and innumerate kids are graduating from government school. It seems government schooling is free to nothing about educating kids.
Again:
Where are the studies that prove schools are actually doing the teaching? The answer to this question is these studies have never been done.
