Schooling shouldn't be mandatory. It should be a service offered to parents; and those parents should decide how much or how little they want of it. Formal homeschooling too.
I shouldn't have to beg the state for permission to teach my own kids at home, any more than I need to beg the local restaurant to let me cook my own dinner.
Kids hate it there, and start bullying each other. The bullying makes it worse, but the kids have to keep going each day or they'll be abducted into foster care.
Eventually something like this happens, and everything except state-imposed schooling gets blamed.
