America is a unique experiment. Our blend of free enterprise capitalism, democracy and republican ideals shaped by British traditions, refashioned by practices from other nations and our own innovations, has created a culture imitated around the world. Our exceptionalism is even seen in our schools.

We don’t have a federal “top-down” education system, as do some nations. Families here are allowed to choose home schooling, private schools or public schools, based upon their own values and resources.

via Ability to educate children with our chosen values makes us unique.
