Should Children Have School?

As the title says should Children have School?
Yes or No???
I don’t know what category would fit this so I picked a random one.

Not 12 years. I had to take my son out in 5th grade re bullying.
Once you learn reading and math, the rest can be learned independently.

Only on weekdays.

Yes.

Maybe this should have been put in the Polls Only thread in MPSIMS.

Should posters have grammar?

Uh, yes? What alternatives were you envisioning? Homeschooling works well for a small percentage of families, but most parents can’t or don’t want to homeschool their children, and there are also those who do want to but shouldn’t.

Of course they should, five days a week for ten years at least, with competent (that is usually best assured by: state approved) teachers. Otherwise you will be homeschooled by your parents, who, let’s be franc, have no time and have no clue. Society would MAGA-ify rapidly and probably irreversibly.

Public, private, or both? What kind of school?

Can the OP please elaborate a bit, and perhaps give an opinion?

Yes, the State should provide free primary, secondary, and tertiary education. I hope this answers your question.
