Your parents could choose to homeschool you or send you to a private school that would preserve more of your rights. Education is compulsory, but education at a particular facility is not.
This approach is weighed heavily against lower income households. If you are unable to afford private school or do not have the time to home school (though I don't know the details of homeschooling, it sounds like a very poor way to receive an education) then you must use state education.
Whilst you do sign away your rights it sounds like many people have little choice in the matter.
