I don't think I know which type of education is best. Is working one-on-one with a single teacher best, in a student-mentor setting? Is public education better? Is homeschool better, with it's individual pace and larger number of teachers per student?
I guess the answer depends on the definition of best. I think of "best" as the type which is the most effective in training a person to become a functional part of society. It needs to show people how to find themselves, and then teach them how to bring food to the table, all the while cramming tons of necessary information into their heads.
I think that the "best" type of education can happen in any type of setting, since the results of the education depend on the attitudes a personalities of the teacher(s) and the student. I think it is very rare, though, and when it happens, it should be appreciated for just how special it is.
