I think it's the same problem. Forcing kids to be in school is not the same as forcing them to learn anything. Dropout rates prove that, even if nothing else does. SO the problem is "What can the government do to get our population the greatest access to education?"

It isn't though, because kids don't start making such choices until they've had at least five/six years of compulsory education. Without that experience they cannot choose either way. The question is not whether kids should be made to go to school in the first place, but how do we entice them to stay there once they are old enough to make their own choices.

I'm off to work now. Lovely discussing with you.
