Experience is a key factor in developing a curriculum and running a school. The people who run our schools would surely have years of experience in education before they are qualified to come up with a curriculum that would affect hundreds of students. The experience that these education professionals have gained throughout the years is necessary in developing a good curriculum as they would know for sure what kind of schooling methods would work and what would not, and what kind of information should be included in the syllabus and taught to the entire student population. If only teachers with years of experience are allowed to come up with a curriculum and, in effect, run a school, how could students with zero experience in teaching be allowed to run a school? Most students do not even have a strong grasp on what is being taught in school, and if so, how could they be given the autonomy to improve and further revise the syllabus when they do not know for sure what is being taught and what is useful? If students were given the right to create their own curriculum, the possible outcome would be that it would fail miserably. Even if the curriculum was workable, it would probably pale in comparison with the various syllabuses that are already in place.
Besides experience, responsibility is also mandatory in the creation of a curriculum. Setting up a curriculum would take up a lot of time, and students who already have various commitments would take ages to create a feasible one. To even attempt to create a curriculum would require a lot of responsibility from the student as he would need to have the responsibility to see the project through.
