ABSTRACT

Before getting on to it, let’s consider two others that appeal to domestic considerations. It’s single individuals who hold beliefs – such as the belief that the school rules should be changed. But it’s not, usually, single individuals who choose schools for children. Where both parents are involved in raising the child, that choice should be made by them together. Perhaps the child herself should have a say. The fact that the unit of decision is not the individual parent provides an obvious way to avoid the charge of hypocrisy.
