There must be magical schools for wizard children who are not yet of 
age to go to Hogwarts. Otherwise I can't imagine how Ron and other 
pureblood wizards would be so ignorant of the Muggle world.

As for squib children, that is a very good question... perhaps 
Muggle schools? Perhaps many squibs leave the wizarding world 
altogether. Arabella Figg seems to have done so.

And what about wizards who don't go to Hogwarts even though they are 
not squibs? Stan of the Knight Bus comes to mind... What sort of 
schooling do they get? I assume not everyone can pay for a Hogwarts 
education...
