Students obtain an education in a subject, such as mathematics or history.
There is no education disembodied from its subject. Those expert in the subject are best qualified to determine how to educate students in that subject. One could even argue that special expertise in the subject is not always important, given the above-average achievement of homeschooled students. 3 To paraphrase Clemenceau, education is much too important to be left to the educators. At first blush, accreditation would seem to be the minimum requirement for an educational institution.
