Isn't that a serious disgression from your underlying premise of that everybody does what is best for him? The current schools definitely not /hinder/ any development. If it doesn't happen and that is the school's fault, there must be something that prevents the student to do what's best for him, yet not being his to decide... Kind of strange argument, I think.
