Sec. 10. (1) It is the natural, fundamental right of parents
and legal guardians to determine and direct the care, teaching, and
education of their children. The public schools of this state serve
the needs of the pupils by cooperating with the pupil's parents and
legal guardians to develop the pupil's intellectual capabilities
and vocational skills in a safe and positive environment.
(2) It is the role of parents and legal guardians and pupils
to determine the best postsecondary educational opportunity to fit
the goals and objectives of the individual pupil. All postsecondary
educational opportunities, including internships, apprenticeships,
2-year degrees, 4-year degrees, and advanced degrees should be
considered depending on the career sought by the pupil.
