The million dollar question is:  What can we do with all these children, K-12, who have nowhere else to be during the day?




The "we" is the problem. 
"All these children"....? Which children? How many do you have????

Your million dollar question is being postulated and answered every day via the centralization and collectivization of education. It costs much more than a million dollars.

The free answer is to take your kids out of school, and approach post secondary education with careful planning and case by case scrutiny. I still hope veterinarians, electricians, welders, and many other professions are educated well, presently they frequently attain their skills from post secondary institutions.

I was being completely idealistic.  I was pondering whether "we" -- i.e., society -- could find a way to utilize people better.  It has almost no bearing on reality, but to my mind, most children, at least K-12, would be better off doing anything rather than sitting through school every day.  It's essentially babysitting.  To claim there is even the pretense of "real learning" is nonsense.

And don't forget -- the modern school system only goes back a little over a hundred years.  What was everybody doing before that?

I just think it's a shame that so many people are thrown into the same hopper, to drugde away against their will through what should be the most carefree and fun years of their lives.  School takes that away from a lot of people.

And learning should be fun.
