Which would be nice if most parents actually gave a damn, but they don't. Some parents have trouble even getting their kids up and on the bus in the morning, do you honestly think that they care at all if their kids get an education?
Hell, most of them have no business being parents in the first place.

So what? Where does it say in the Constitution that the government is responsible for educating someone's children? Many of these kids who supposedly didn't get an "education" learned a trade.

An educated populace is good for society. The uneducated and unskilled are a drain on society and swell the welfare rolls. You know as well as I do that if these kids were not forced to go to school, they'd be home playing video games and doing drugs and running with gangs and turning to crime, their parents functionally don't exist. Hell, for a lot of them, their mother has no clue who the father is and their 6 brothers and sisters each have different fathers and their mother is so strung out on drugs that she hasn't got a clue what day it is, much less care about her kids education. As much as it might be the parent's responsibility, the unfortunate reality is that most parents cannot and will not actually carry through on their responsibilities.
