I'm not against compulsory education. That's the social compact, right? We pay taxes (even us without kids) with the understanding that everyone's kids will go to school. The idea that education shouldn't be compulsory seems like a pretty stupid idea. This isn't frontier country anymore, an uneducated child will be a burden on our advanced, technological society. But ensuring that they are educated properly is still their parent's concern, not mine.

Only if you accept the (rather obvious) fallacy that the government can compel someone to become educated. It can't. All it can do is compel them to show up at a school building every day.
