In the second paragraph on page 16, you state that the teachers should be the ones teaching, not the law, but since the law controls the teachers they actually are the ones teaching. However, you leave out a few key points. For example, you are solely discussing schools. Yet there are many different ways and places to teach.
One of the left out ideas is homeschooling, the grounds of this being the parent teaching their children. Therefore, the parent can guide the child to grow up in the way the parent believes is best. This method leaves the law behind, and allows the parent (teacher) the reigns in the development in the children.
The second idea is in a different definition of teacher. A teacher can be one who shows a child new things and, in the case you are trying to make, gives the child room to think and ask questions. A person like this could be anyone. Not only a teacher of school or a parent, but a sibling or friend, or a parent’s friend. I have learned much not only through my mother and teachers, but through my friend’s parents, my sisters, my coaches, and my friends themselves. None of these people are controlled much by the law.
Overall, the point you make is true in the light you show it in. When you branch out, there are many different options for the role of a teacher in accordance with the law.
