The desire for food is a basic need that everyone understands, there is no need for the gov. to pass laws making eating compulsory. Education is different, it's almost as vital but some parents, and a lot of children don't realise this.

How is public education anywhere close to as vital as food? The stuff we learn in public schools, or even in most private schools, isn't 'vital' at all. Not everyone needs to learn the same stuff, and there are tons of kids who don't want or need to learn a lot of the stuff that they'll never use in their life.

Why not just let each child and their parents decide what stuff is important for them to learn, and let them go about it however they see fit?
