Well, there are two reasons:

1. Ensure that every child gets an education

2. Give children something to do besides work in a sweatshop.

Do you really think all children need to learn the things that are taught in public schools (or even in most private schools)? Whether or not something like public schooling exists, I think the best thing that can be done for education is to decentralize it enough so that not every single person needs to learn the same goddamn stuff. Not everyone is the same, and not everyone wants or needs to learn the same things, so its silly to have a system where bascially all children are brought up learning the same subjects.

What a crazy claim. Everyone learns the same, are you out of your mind?
Come on there's a rich diversity in public schools. Some teach evolution and some teach creationism.
