This.
If you want to see a prime example of a structured school system carry your ass to South Korea or Japan and check out their primary schools. The children there don't seem to have a lot of trouble learning in a structured environment.
As far as home schooling goes the families that would have the most difficultly home schooling their children are the same families who's children do poorly in the public school system. How is that going to help?
This is because we think of primary schools not as academies, but as part of bread and circus.
