Hear me out Compulsory education’s goal is to create a good worker You do not need much education or any second order thinking skills to - follow a road sign - memorize a shitcoin ticker - read TikTok captions - work on an assembly line - send emails - be swayed by an advertisement You do not need second order thinking for most jobs in our economy, and have not for my whole life I hazard And our education system is no longer producing good workers. 1/3 of all zoomers jobless, or so I read. How many of them went to college, carry debt and have no prospects? The situation is untenable. We have vastly overproduced elite aspirants per Turchin Especially with the AI age incipient why should the state pay for day care for teenagers. By 14 we will know who deserves the last knowledge jobs, they will be metered out by some combination of nepotism, family wealth and sheer brainpower.

Yeah, no matter how much I'd like to say, that it would be better if they somehow changed the education system or if they gave the parents more free time to raise their kids (a topic Bias was talking about a month or so back), I still think that allowing kids to work would at least give them expeience and they would probably learn to work, which is an important skill, that will help them later in life.
