On the whole, I'd say that I don't think that the age should be lowered, mostly because I think that kids should be out (at least quite possibly) from their parents' house before they start to vote. There's something critical about having to budget (a little) and make a few decisions on your own that really affect your life, in my opinion.
However, the first thing I thought of : can you imagine the advertising that would occur in / around schools? Kids forced to be in a small, concentrated place for 8 hours a day? I'd bet campaigners would make drug dealers look like novices going after kids.
I think it's an interesting idea, but I don't think I'd want to subject my kids to it. Let 'em be kids for a while - they've got the rest of their lives to pull their hair out.
ps. I disagree on the 21 thing...I'm more of a make everything 18.
