Reasons for Kleptocracy's Compulsory Schooling

School as Halter
The horseman prepares the young horse for work (such as carrying a rider) by confining the horse to a pen with the trainer. Gradually most candidate horses will accept the presence of the trainer (most are born to captivity anyway), then the horse accepts a halter, then a blanket, then a saddle, then a bit ... Once the trainer mounts the horse to finish "breaking" it, most horses comply after only a little protest kicking. Those that don't are sent to the glue factory, not put on welfare. Schools do the same for young kleptocrats.
Sure some skills are offered, some actually learned, in part, by some: math, grammar, history ... football, typing ... But always, as background, so familiar as to be as invisible as water to a fish, the young kleptocrat is trained in the kleptocracy's justifications for its brand of kleptocracy: It was right of us Jews to take Canaan from the Canaanites, Because .... God loves us, not them ...
Reasons: Myth will continue to develop that reason further: then I'll resurrect the bulk of Knatz.com's forty-year long list of additions to Illich's quorum of reasons kleptocracies compel the young to consume schooling.
