You either see the need yourself, wish to please/fear your parents enough to do as told, or you have already learned that nobody can "make" you learn unless they are willing to physically punish you for not doing so -- NONE of these conditions require "mandatory" education and "mandatory" education wastes resources on those who have already decided they're done with learning.
Rather than continue the hyperbole that's been levelled against you (which I admit is pretty funny), I'd just like to respectfully point out that privatising education would, on top of everything else, cause the quality to plummet. You've mentioned in the past that you want the market to be as free as possible, but I really don't know why, as every single time the market has taken over a service, that service inevitably beomces far less efficient and far more expensive.
