Compulsory education is a tool for control, not education.
Compulsory education is a tool for control, not education.
Compulsory education is not a good tool for education; some people do not need schooling and can learn enough topics, with just their parents and experience, to survive.
-
Compulsory schooling forces a person to be near other people; some people are bullies or abusers. The victim should not be near these people; yet the victim is forced to be near them because current compulsory schooling systems demand that everyone goes to school.
-
Also, some people can already learn well on their own; children can be taught critical thinking so that they can learn on their own. Unfortunately, compulsory education systems suck at this goal and end up screwing up the critical thinking skills.
-
The school curriculum of some countries are really bad.
-
Some people can bypass compulsory education through corrupt means; this results in a disproportional distribution of power.
In history, parents have been educators for their children during our primal times; why do parents have to force their children to go to a building for education? The parents already do the education themselves.

<h2>My experience.</h2>
I don't like being near people; I didn't like being near other kids as a kid.
Schools did not work well for my Autism and ADHD; I didn't like the screaming and yelling. I didn't like waiting 8 hours to survive. I was always tired when I got home. </details>
