What about compulsory education, is that imprisonment then?

The article, to which you have linked, concerns a 60 year old critique of the contemporary US educational system. Besides the critique being of dubious relevance, simply due to its age, using it to argue that compulsory education is akin to imprisonment for many is misleading, if not fraudulent. Quite frankly it seems to me, that you linked the first apperarently appropriate hit in your google search.

You are supposed to read the "article" posted before calling it out

According to whom?

Have you actually read it? If you had, you could have addressed my arguments, instead of feigning indignation that I hadn't spent the 10 minutes reading a seemingly superannuated critique of an equally archaic educational system.

Do you make a habit of reading every eight-page Wikipedia article someone randomly links to in an online debate, without said person qualifying the article?
