Whenever you discuss the ideal anything with respect to economics, you must ask this question: Ideal from the point of view of the person who is paying? Whenever you discuss the ideal anything from the perspective of a legal agent, you must begin with this question: On whose behalf does the legal agent act? These are important questions. The main difficulty in discussing the ideal school is that multiple groups claim top position with respect to the decision-making process. Administrators in local public schools claim this for themselves. Teachers claim it for themselves inside the classroom. The school board claims it. If the school district takes money from the state, the state’s Board of Education claims it. The Department of Education in Washington claims it. Courts claim it. Lawmakers at all levels claim it. Educational bureaucrats claim it. The greatest advantage of homeschooling is that parents can claim it.
