The concept of a school wouldn't be illegal. The people running the school would be committing crimes or at least be in some level of legal trouble with the city council, state or federal law. They could either be fined or go to prison, or they could get the relevant paperwork sorted out.
Yes it is, you explicitly said it would be illegal if you didn't get permission from the government. What you meant to say was that "The concept of a government-approved school wouldn't be illegal." which is very different from the concept of any school being legal, and also redundant because by definition a government-approved school is a legal school, since governments hold a monopoly on the legal system.
Sure it's not "fully illegal" in the same way that technically methadone can be bought and sold.
Like everything else you people get your grubby dick beaters on it winds up being regulated such that the only people who can justify going through the hoops other than governments that get preferential treatment are businesses specializing solely in doing whatever activity you're regulating.
It used to be possible for a man to have a side gig without violating the law, be it a school or something else, not anymore thanks to the likes of you.

Yes, correct, the only people opening schools should be governments or highly skilled private actors who proved they are highly skilled.
Otherwise we get children who grow up into neanderthals and the country goes to shit. I quite like living somewhere with a decent literacy rate. Let's keep it that way.
This isn't a political spectrum problem. It is a people problem. You can live in a successful society with high touch government, or low touch government. They can both work, The problem with the former is that government power attracts people like you who have some end (keeping Zuck down or whatever) you want that people don't agree with (hence why you must co-opt existing institutions rather than build them) and so reasonable safety regulation turns into protectionism and industry handouts, etc, etc.
Letting industry police itself gives you Boeings falling out of the sky.
I'm not attracted to power myself thank you very much. It's too much effort trying to help society and having people like you wreck it. As you can probably not tell, I don't work well with idiots.
