Self-ownership and Education: Homeschooling vs. Unschooling

Our daughter is in a charter school. While I recognize that these schools are still reliant upon the state for redistribution of wealth without consent, they do provide some flexibility in the curriculum and choice for parents. Our daughter likes it more than public school, and we know of another opening next year that focuses on the classical method. In the charter school, she has more involvement over the curriculum and the pace at which she learns. One of her biggest complaints was having to wait for the class to catch up in public school. Skyler at Everything-Voluntary.com raises some good questions on self-ownership and education:

Libertarians are quick to defend the "rights" of homeschooling parents against violations by the state. I can only half-heartedly get behind such a cause. Yes, the state should get out of the way of parents, but just as important, maybe even more important, is that parents should get out of the way of their children. Contrast Ron Paul's defense of homeschooling, that is parents controlling their children's education, with John Holt's defense of unschooling, or children controlling their own education. The relevant question for libertarians: which is more in line with the principles of self-ownership and non-aggression?
