This thrust of the article wasn't about the “adults” it was about the **government**.
**Government** does **not** know better than the parents whether a particular child need algebra or not!
**Government** does **not** know better than the parents whether an individual child needs for more years of incarceration, confined behind a narrow desk, in the bowels of a prison-like government institution!
Begin the process of privatizing the government schools. Let parents, teachers, and principals decide these issues **privately** without the threat of government force.
Oh...And...Please remember that government force **means** police action ( with real guns with real bullets on the hips.)
You think that the 27 year old, substance-abusing, high school dropout single mother of one of my 9th graders knows whether or not her child needs algebra?
Do you think that child would be better off being homeschooled?
Maybe her mom will put her in a private school. Yeah, that's it....

**Government** does **not** know better than the parents whether an individual child needs for (Do you mean "four"?) more years of incarceration,confined behind a narrow desk, in the bowels of a prison-like government institution!
In addition, a more educated way to phrase the first statement would be, "...than the parents whether or not a particular child needs algebra." The original word order is not, however, a blatant, terribly offensive error.
