Do you see school as a right or a privilege? I see it as a privelege. Sure, it helps the overall country to provide free education, but there are many many countries in the world that do not, and many children in poor countries never get a decent education because they are forced to get a job at the age of 7.

^ It's not as easy as you say it is. Leaders of developing countries aren't stupid, they know that education would be the most ideal situation. But in their current state, they cannot afford to provide education to the seven year olds working the fields. There's still billions of dollars of debt and the poverty cycle, malnourishment, overpopulation and exhaustion of resources to worry about.
