Uh, yes. The laws on the books *require* to have their children in school
(in Idaho) from 7-15 years old ("attained the age of 7 years, but not the
age of 16 years." Idaho Code § 33-202).

Why do you think that by putting money back into the parent's hands for
deciding what education is best for their children is bad? 

Never for the life of me will I understand people thinking that the State
can make better decisions for their children than parents can.
