What happens when the parents decide that they want to have thier kids go into a trade school, so the child goes to trade school and learns nothing but that trade, than they turn 18 and become an adult, and it turns out that they don't even like that trade and they want nothing to do with it, but their parents forced it upon them? That doesn't sound like a just and free world. Public education is suppose to give them a strong wide foundation so that when they turen 18 they know enough about everything that they can decide what they want to do and already have some of the knowledge to go pursue that.
