> you don't have the right to decide how your child should be educated, a committee will decide intimate details of yours and your family's lives, where they go every day, what happens when they get there, what the curriculum is, what happens if it doesn't go well, what values should be encouraged, what narratives will be portrayed I hate to break it to you, but both private schools and public schools are bound to a curriculum set by the district (and typically overseen by the state/province). Short of hiring private tutors for every subject, parents don't have nearly as much control over their child's education as you are suggesting. And even in the private tutor scenario, if they want their kid to go to a decent post-secondary institution, the curriculum will have to be adequately aligned with the standard admissions processes.
