Not everyone can just learn on their own, and if your parents aren't real great at math or law or teaching, you really need school.

That some people need kidney dialysis is not an argument that everyone getting kidney dialysis is the only way to stay healthy.

If you can't learn from books or videos or online lectures or parents or tutors, I doubt generic schooling is really going to be able to help much either, but if it does great. People learn in different ways and different kids need different resources, but that's an argument against a one-size fits all public schooling system, not in favor.
