Why do many conservatives care about the kind of school their children attend, with many opting for private or religious schools? If mom and dad can do just fine, who needs Scouts or church groups? What does it matter what the teacher thinks?

Since I haven't heard from that Aussie loser, I'll answer your question - which you answered: "existing to instill values in youth"
The original supporters of private schools are the liberals. Can you name one Clinton, Kennedy, Biden, (Jessie) Jackson, or Pelosi child who ever entered a public school? They want the best for their kids, as do conservatives.
The evil "village" is the government. They think more governmental rules and more government spending is needed. They don't think congressman Foley should email pages, but they think gay leaders should go camping with boy scouts. They would not allow a scout to have a pocket knife, let alone a hatchet. Peeing in the woods? Oh no never.
