I suspect you would not enjoy living in a modern where most of the kids didn’t go to school.
Once you realize public schooling is better than no public school funding.
Vouchers is a way to out competition into a public funded school system.
Why do I suspect you attended a government school?

“I suspect you would not enjoy living in a modern where most of the kids didn’t go to school.”
Human beings did not “depend upon” public school until about 100 years ago.
I don’t think things have much improved.
If government schools were immediately shut down tomorrow, the **same** children who are getting an education today, would get one tomorrow. Why?
Because little education or schooling happens in the government K-12 school. The only thing a government school does ( academically) is send home a free curriculum for the parents and child to follow in the home! .
We already live in a world where, yes, most of children are warehoused on a daily basis, but they are absolutely not being educated in these prison-like structures .

Why is it, that Americans assume that any learning whatsoever happens in a government school? Hm? Where are the controlled studies that **prove** this?
In questioning parents of academically successful children, I have ( anecdotally) found that the home habits of homeschooled and institutionalized children are nearly identical. Both homeschooled and institutionalized academically successful children spent about the **same** amount of time doing homework, have predicable home routines, and enriching extracurricular activities.
I have observed that if there is an academically successful children his habits and the values of his parents in the home are nearly identical.
If there is an academically successful child, that child is being homeschooled or afterschooled. The government school has little to nothing to do with the success except to take credit for their high standardized test scores, and blame the parents, society, or the legislators when kid do poorly.
