So what? That doesn't mean society gets to tell them how to raise their kids. Maybe the rest of your local community should come over to your house and start dictating to you how you should be raising your kids.

Them having an education is what is best for society whether they choose to use it of not, it is a tool that everyone should have, whether or not they use that tool.

Ah, yes, the favorite line of you damned government-loving nanny-staters and your tyrant ancestors: what is best for society. You can keep your damned hands off my life and out of my country!

Education helps later in life, therefore whether or not they obtain it is of no use or hurt to the parents, so they have little motivation other than pride.

You call what goes on in these damned government indoctrination centers education????? How many of the people subjected to these places are allowed to graduate not knowing how to read or not being able to read at more than a sixth grade level or not being able to find major cities in their own country on a map?

When it is everyone that will benefit from that person's education, than everybody should be making a small contribution to make sure it happens.

Keep your damned hands off my child! I don't give a rat's behind whether you benefit. If you want to benefit from some child's education then go have your own children and let the government get their hands on them.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
