And THAT is the problem that they should be tackling.

Ironically any attempt to control this is deemed 'authoritarian' as well.

Not necessarily. If they want to have uneducated children, let them.

That is a terrible attitude about education. You are essentially condemning those kids and future generations to a shittier society and shittier lives.

Maybe so, but it’s better than the alternatives.

A reminder that it is a legal requirement that children get primary education. It is a crime to not give them an education.

We did that for a reason and it is undoubtedly better than the alternative.

This is a problem that could be solved with socially funded child care, at least in part. But that's not gonna happen. (Posting from USA; I don't know how this may or may not apply in the UK.)

Either way, if parents had more time to raise their children rather than slave away at jobs to stay above water, I have to think there'd be some improvement in child development.
