The argument is for putting the choice in parents hands. One needs to believe that parents know what is good for their children.
I believe it is important to encourage parents in this.
- Some people may begin development of this skill in childhood, effortlessly as if by osmosis while casually observing their parents... and later as parents themselves leverage these memories in being supportive to the next generation.
- Other parents, without having had the benefit of someone to emulate in developing this skill, may learn as adults how to identify what their child needs to flourish.
The answer is some reasonable form of accreditation.
Or strong local control... holding a school accountable specifically to students and parents. In this context, strong bottom-up local control may somewhat minimize top-down influence of DeVos and/or Department of Education.
