Agree.<br /><br />I like your definition of warehousing kids. I think you and Mauzy agree that the middle class has “kicked the can” of education to the government. Because of our apathy towards schooling our own children, we’ve allowed education to be shaped by other “experts”, and sometimes (maybe oftentimes) these so called experts aren’t.<br /><br />Without mandatory attendance, the state has a much harder time justifying taxation to fund education. If education were “voluntary”, compulsory taxation would be a much harder sell. I don’t see any meaningful headway against compulsory education, but I do see vouchers as a good start. Allowing me, the parent and taxpayer, to take my money and my kid to the school of my choice is a step in the right direction. (I personally home school, and vouchers could also benefit me)<br /><br />I thought you might touch more on the liberty aspect of forced warehousing, but nevertheless, a good post.
