Interesting subject, I am currently in college and I am about to head into university.
As I recall their where an awful lot of people who didnt want to be in school when i was there and it makes it hard for teachers to teach and students to learn. However you cannot simply leave children to do their own thing. If given the right to make their own decisions they would simply choose to play on a computer all day long or hang about on street corners.
I think its important to remember there is a lack of jobs out their and alot less oppertunity for employment, so by not taking the education route (such as further education like college as your brother did) you leave yourself at the back of the queue for employment when leaving education.
Sounds like your takin abit of a Marxist view that the capitalists are shaping our decisions and teaching only what they want us to know.
Hope you find my views relevant to your arguement.
