I would argue that kids are more proto-human being than fully fledged human being, which is why they need education to start with.

Also, why, if they are human being, are they subjected to lesser criminal penalties than "adults" ?

Yeah that's something that we really need to fix, although aren't there many cases of minors being charged as adults?

Given the unpopularity of my other comments, I don't think trialling children as adults will be popular either.
