Parents and all right-minded people want the best for children, and one important aspect of considering what is best for them is contemplating their education.

What is the process by which they become “educated”—what does having an “education” mean? It is not enough, I think, just to select the “best” school we intend to send them to; we have to think deeper than this, because the “best” school isn’t necessarily best for your particular child. Indeed, we see this clearly when parents with more than one child make different decisions for each one.
