You can leave your job. You may not be allowed to return to it, but you can walk away.

You can switch your job as desired. Kids can’t switch their school.

You can not have a job (economic consequences aside). You can’t not be in school.

They didn’t choose to be there and if they hate it, the main way out is waiting.

Kids can’t switch their own school because they’re not their own legal guardians until they’re 18. You can’t switch nationalities just because you want to. That doesn’t make your country a penal colony.

You can OBVIOUSLY it be in school. No country on earth forces kids to join any school (let alone to attend it).

Most people didn’t choose to be at their jobs and hate it, the main way out is waiting for retirement.
