> But that's not possible, allowing kids the choice to possibly not be educated
It's not not possible, but the problem is you'd end up with a majority uneducated populous who would decide that sacrificing goats and watering crops with Gatorade is the thing to do, and they would hang you if you disagreed
I don't know. I'd like Mike Judge's opinion on this point. Does trapping people in a building and forcing them to stack up academic KPIs really make them less stupid? I suppose it keeps them away from superstition and hoaxes and scams. Maybe. Does it even help with that? It's probably the socialization that matters.
