Please do not reply saying that schooling is good for the nations youth, i do not dispute that, I am one of those who it is currently benifitting but i still feel that it would be interesting to find out how legal school actually is, I will be looking it up and posting it here ASAP.
It is not slavery because the student can choose to not do the work, and accept a bad grade. Also parents can pull their child out, so it isn't forced on them eather
