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**
