If anything, you could argue it's not a right; it's a requirement, as I believe kids are required by law to attend school of some sort from age 5 until 16.

I'm starting to think your definition of "rights" is whatever you want to believe "rights" are. if free education is guaranteed by law, how is that a "privilege?"
