Ummmm? Not sure where to go here. Let's do this:
http://stats.bls.gov/opub/rylf/pdf/chapter2.pdf
I can't copy the text out of the PDF file and put it here, so you'll have to
go read it yourselves. Here's the gist:
In 1813, Connecticut passed law to get businesses to educate their child
labor. Didn't work well. In 1836, Massachusetts tried it, and a few other
states followed suit. Still not overwhelming, but it looks like it was still
better than the national average.
I assume this is because, while the nation was becoming industrialised at
that point, the true majority of folks were still out on the farms and
ranches. So manditory schooling, to come along soon after the above, would
still fail to bring in the kids who were so important to the running of the
family farm for the family survival. Hence the Census data as quoted.
All of this still brings to the forefront the fact that few businesses in
America would/could/care to run privatized schooling for children. Most
can't make their bottom line in the first place, and are laying off tens of
thousands of workers daily. Besides all that, in this day and age, there
would need to be strict guidelines on HOW the business could educate the
kids, and that is just the same size government, doing different work, right?

Of course schools would vary all over the map as to how good an education (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
