Scott correctly observes:
===============
Children must be treated as INDIVIDUALS, and their INDIVIDUAL best
interests should be served by their parents, to the best of their
ability,
without regard for other students, whose educations are the
responsibility
of their parents.
==============
You are correct -- partially. Whereas the school system is mandated to
serve the individualized needs of pupils, it is also required to
protect the entire student body (the system) from the negative actions
of students who hinder the advancement of others. Just as in any
society, the INDIVIDUAL'S freedoms and rights stop where those rights
and freedoms interfere with the rights and freedoms of others. So it is
in schools as well.
