Unfortunately, parents in the lower classes, and especially one parent households, don't have much control over their kids, who will play hooky and sell drugs on the street. Many of these households are one parent because the daddy is absent - common among minorities. Some of the girls will turn to prostitution under the age of 12.</div><div><br></div><div>I disagree with the forced aspect, but overall we will be better off and so will the kids if we do force them.

The right not to go to a public school exists too, so it's hard to see any victims here. I think we will see Khan type online schools that are free for everyone and public and private schools decline. Why pay when it's free? More than that, it better designed than public education, according to what I read, anyway.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>### I won't voluntarily pay for public school and I don't want it.
