I thought I'd add this nice tidbit, taken from a book I recently read: In 1821, *long* before public schools were created, 93% of all NYC children were enrolled in private schools.
So much for the fallacy that without public provision of schooling too many children would go uneducated.

So that would be what? Roughly 14 million Americans without basic schooling. I'd call that a problem and I don't even live there.

Wow, you weren't kidding about the "special olympics paradox" were you? You fit right in!
I would suggest that the fact you believe there are 200 million americans between the ages of 6 and 18 shows the quality of your analysis so far.

Join him at the olympics. He said 14 million without basic schooling, period. That phrase would include adults who didn't receive an education when they were of school age.
