I couldn't disagree more.  Public schools might not be perfect, but 
without mandatory schooling, I'd expect many poorer families would only 
be able to give there children poor or even no schooler.  You would 
likely continue to perpetuate an even stronger class system, and 
breaking the "American dream" for many to rise out of the socioeconomic 
class they were born into.

Oh, you should definitely move to the Cambridge area, then.  NO problems 
like that there. **cough**big dig**cough**
