WTF do you think compulsory education is for?

Yeah, they learning how to count, spell, etc. But they can learn (most) that at home. It's about SOCIALIZATION.

Do you know what that means?

Teaching them how to act/react talk/respond amongst their peers and superiors. This is preparation for live as an adult.

You have VERY little time to form your child's personality before they are 'set' - and that ain't me, most child psychologists agree, in some cases they're talking about as little as 5 years. By they time your kid is out of Elementary, the person they are is the person they are going to be. So yeah, this shit matters.

Theses lessons matter. Seriously, SOMEONE is going to work in the office. They're not all going to be self-made, self-employed. YES, you need to teach/prepare them to deal with and within the system. This shit ain't that complicated.
