Why D can't be the answer. So the paragraph is taking two different school environments. First is flexible according to the interests of students and other one is disciplined and systematic. Option D talks about exactly the same thing.

Posted from my mobile device

Gaby: In school, children should be allowed fully to follow their own interests, supported by experienced teachers who offer minimal guidance. This enables them to be most successful in their adult lives.

Logan: I disagree. Schoolchildren should acquire the fundamental knowledge necessary for future success, and they learn such fundamentals only through disciplined, systematic instruction from accredited teachers.

Gaby’s and Logan’s comments provide most support for the claim that they disagree about
(A) the way in which schoolchildren best acquire fundamental knowledge - WRONG.
(B) the extent to which teachers should direct schoolchildren’s education - CORRECT. It looks as if G and L both suggest that teacher should guide children with G being sort of against such guidance. But G is not saying explicitly that teachers should not guide but says minimal guidance is offered.
(C) the importance of having qualified teachers involved in schoolchildren’s education - WRONG.
(D) the sort of school environment that most fosters children’s creativity - WRONG. School environment is fine but children's creativity is not being the core of the passage. the core is about their overall development that results in success.
(E) the extent to which schoolchildren are interested in fundamental academic subjects - WRONG.

Hi PalakMan

The passage is about G and L putting up their own POV on children being guided by teachers or not(see the blue text).
Only B and D stand a chance but D slightly loses the plot as it discusses creativity instead of success. Also, B is not saying against the passage. It discusses the common point of the G and L.

HTHs.
