Mandatory State-prescribed curricula for children is a perversion that parents wilfully let happen, wilfully let their children be literally kidnapped-- Pied Pipered-- into.
Meanwhile, at some of America's schools, the children get abused in different ways and worse, shot and killed.

Morning Zazzy - nice post as usual - substantive as always.
Playing catch up now. 1) Le Bic, on the shore, adjacent Rimouski 2) Check out the Amish that went to Western NC and built tiny houses for the Hurricane Helene flood victims - 12 houses built in 48 hours, at a cost of $300K - all of which they did for free - most Master Carpenters.
On State-prescribed curricula, you are correct. Read a study years ago, that in Sweden (I think) formal school doesn't start until 7-years old. Data shows they academically outperformed every other industrialized country in later years.
There's a reason Obama and his ilk kept pushing for earlier and earlier pre-school "education" - Head Start - easier to bend those young minds. Preceded by the Bushs - Dubya and Jeb - with their "No Child Left Behind" indoctrination program foolishness.
In my comment, I just edited out 'under a certain age' in part because State-mandated anything at any age is fundamentally unethical because it's coercive.
I initially put 'under a certain age' because after a certain age, State-mandated curricula are not mandatory. So we won't have a social worker appear at our doors to question us about why our children, between certain ages, are not at school or submitting their tests.
I understand that some parents will be more fish-like than other parents and so be fine with laying their offspring like eggs to whatever/whoever happens.
Human beings and fish can of course peacefully coexist, as long as the fish don't impose their ways on we mammals.
"In the mid-1970s, as Pink Floyd gained mainstream fame, songwriter Roger Waters began feeling increasingly alienated from his audiences:
Audiences at those vast concerts are there for an excitement which, I think, has to do with the love of success. When a band or a person becomes an idol, it can have to do with the success that that person manifests, not the quality of work he produces. You don't become a fanatic because somebody's work is good, you become a fanatic to be touched vicariously by their glamour and fame. Stars—film stars, rock 'n' roll stars—represent, in myth anyway, the life as we'd all like to live it. They seem at the very centre of life. And that's why audiences still spend large sums of money at concerts where they are a long, long way from the stage, where they are often very uncomfortable, and where the sound is often very bad."

And by all means, don't let school get in the way of your education.

Alan Parker's Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982) is a highly under-rated cinematic masterpiece.
