Well, okay, but I don't want to catch anybody griping about how people are so stupid, then. If it's acceptable for parents to not educate their kids, be prepared to reap the consequences. If you think you are more qualified than a trained, certified teacher to educate your kid, that's fine. Just add deep fryer operation to your curriculum.
If/when I have a kid, he's going to attend normal school, and I will supplement whatever he might need as extra, like most parents probably do. I think it's foolish not to avail yourself of the public system already there.
I've said my piece (more than), so....

People can be very successful without going to school. They can learn a trade(mechanic, carpenter, ect.). They can be successfully self-taught or home schooled.
People are stupid already. I have always thought people were stupid. I see no change except more freedom to the people. Also if the parents do not have the child educated and that person works as a janitor there entire life that is perfectly acceptable.
If/when I have a kid I will have more than enough money to afford it and any possible unforeseen circumstances. He/she will attend private school, most certainly not public school. But hey if a parent wants to train a child to take over the family business and not go to school that is fine by me.
