      Being the literal property of another human being is not the same as a mandatory education. Also before you ask having to listen to your parents as a kid also is not comparable to slavery.

      But to answer your question the parents get in trouble for it

        Of course definitely not the same in terms of violence, but in terms of our inability to have a choice. Slavery is different and “worse” but somehow it rhymes.

          I’m stunned by the absolute ignorance of this comment.

          Please stay in school kids or somehow you’ll wind up thinking slavery is comparable to school.

          I don’t have the energy to full educate you on the horrors of slavery. But I can assure you having to go to school, recieve a free education, and fill in a scantron every now and again is not comparable in the slightest.

            Sure that part is great. The part that’s not is the compulsory part that is in hours conducive only to corporations’ benefit and not children. Also the religious garbage spewed in many states. The inequal funding, the terrible teacher’s pay and conditions. High school sports as an industry. Lack of any flexibility for children’s needs. Long hours at too young and age. It’s not bad overall but there are very, very shitty parts of it in dire need of improvement. I’m sure we agree overall anyways.
