You make it sound like public schools are equivalent to prisons. I dunno about you but I was perfectly happy where I went to school. I got a good education and even earned a 75% paid tuition scholarship (and I'm not a super-genius who got a 4.0+ either).
By the way, there is such a thing (in the U.S. at least) called "school choice". This gives the students/parents the option to go to a school of their choice obviously, rather than the one they are districted to by default because of their home location.

Whats worse are the options presented with the abolishment of Public Education. How is it 'free' to force parents to pay more to send kids to private school? How is it 'free' to force a parent home from work to home-school their kids?
How can one argue for individual freedom by increasing the burden on the individual family?
