You must go to school for at least 9 years and get a basic education.

I think this is a good law.
See, I'm torn. On the one hand, I have friends who had a better home school education, and are as a result more successful now, than I am with my public school education. I was taught creationism in public school. On the other hand, my understanding is that homeschooling can be used as a cover for abuse, or educational neglect. Or just teaching straight up awful things to the child. On the other other hand, those things happen in public, private, and religious schools as well.
