"Consider compulsory school-attendance laws, for instance. They fill government schools with children who don't want to be there.  Some students are violent, attacking -- and even killing -- teachers and other students. Teachers must lock their classrooms to keep hoodlums at bay in the hallways. Thus, compulsory attendance laws, alleged to promote education, can make it almost impossible."
