Okay, my two cents, neko. I hope it helps.
Education - an interactive method of learning involving one or more students with one or more mentors, teachers, other students, and sometimes compilations of knowledge (books, etc.); usually involves a process which is intended not just to pass along knowledge but to instill thinking in the student to advance his/her ability to think critically
I'm of the opinion that important things (like school curricula) should be determined by people who are particularly knowledgeable and dedicated regarding the matter at hand (in this case, by educators). I am not opposed to having public hearings and such that might help inform those educators of the opinions of others that they might not have heard. But a democracy doesn't mean everybody should have an equal part in making all decisions. I certainly don't want people who have no clue or who have passionate agendas that have little to do with education to have any part in making the final decisions.
