Life is the real mandate. School is the fake mandate.
From a very early age, most of us understand that we need to take care of certain things to have a life worth living. We need to have an income to pay our living expenses including food and shelter. We need to take care of our health so we can move around easily and be able to take care of the things that require a certain physical condition like lifting things, taking walks or playing sports. We need friendships to have a certain quality of life that requires real connection.
Even from a very young age, we understand we don't need the government to mandate these things because life itself is the ultimate mandate and it doesn't add any extra protection or incentive throwing a government mandate on top of it.
This is evidenced millions of times daily by people who voluntarily do things to improve their life even though they aren't under the threat of law.
The only reason school needs a government mandate is because a lot of it doesn't have value to the average person because if it did people would use it voluntarily.
We don't mandate that people get a job because life already takes care of that and the people who won't get a job aren't going to get one even with a mandate.
School's mandate doesn't prove its importance. It reveals its weakness.
