    Yes I think that in our situation today in the western world mandatory school is mostly good. Maybe in the future we’ll have a society that does better without, I’d like that. Less “forcing” is better imo.

      Eh, Western mandatory education is missing A LOT of important topics, particularly in terms of social justice, environmentalism, and everyday skills for adulthood. Private schools, depending on which one (and its political affiliation) may do better, may also do worse, but really, a systematic mandate for those things is needed. Even if private schools do better at this across the board, “pay more for better education that should have been standard in the first place” is absolutely not societally acceptable.
