Yes, well why should the government regulate it


The governments in most (all?) civilised countries do regulate schooling, for the well being of the pre-16 children. As a way of ensuring they are actually taught to spell and add, and whatever else the government requires. So that the child will be able to interact with society when he/she/it eventually emerges from their protective cocoon.

That's why.

But there's still lots of play for specific slants to what is taught, and I suppose that's what is of concern to the original poster here.
