why is forced education for all Americans the law of the land.

Is there a constitutional imperative somewhere that calls for it???

My kids, once they could walk, were crawling under my car with me, or helping me put up sheet rock, painting and fixing the plumbing...

now one is an engineer who is called upon before other engineers because he can physically do things...along with the theory.

Two reasons.
#1: Keeping kids in school till their mid twenties keeps them out of the labor pool.

#2: Schools are a means of indoctrination. The State loves schools, because it means they control the the next generation.

Notice learning is not one of the goals of education. Academic performance is lot rewarded, and in some schools, many if you are male, it is discouraged.
