You can. You can homeschool them until ten. Homeschooling doesn’t need to look like school at home. It can look like unschooling which is actively supporting children in exploring their interests while exposing them to new things.But if you’re asking why the system can’t be changed so that no child goes to school until they’re ten, what do you propose would be done with all those kids until ten? They would either need a parent home with them or some kind of day care. Society is set up around parents having free access to daily babysitting. Taking that away would cause a huge disruption that no one is asking for.An individual family can choose to not send their child to school until ten. There’s no need to impose that on everyone.
