Parents need to be making these decisions, not schools.This was my original point, you just said it better than I could.
The above thinking is only as good as the responsibility of the parents making the decision. I grew up in an age of absolute authorities such as church leaders, school leaders, etc. What they said was supported in public, and questioned in private. In today's world that has been reversed. Now we wonder why we do not have more competent educational leaders. Because the good ones become frustrated with lack of support and go on to jobs where they do not have to deal with lack of suuport, leaving the incompetents to lead.
