That's not really true. There are private schools of all kinds of religious denominations and philosophical leanings. It is just that there is a curriculum to follow. They can add to that.

Sorry if I misunderstood. Do the private schools follow a state mandated scope and sequence, or even specific curriculum, or do they have autonomy to teach differently than the public schools?
Solo circumnavigation is a bit more than a cool trip in my view. It's not like flying on a plane somewhere and staying in hotels. It's more akin to climbing Everest, or training for and competing in the Olympics. The skill and preparation required is staggering.

Why should a state mandated curriculum trump her attempting to attain a lofty goal that requires dedication, skill, and maturity?
