Patti concludes that parents directing children’s learning is unlikely to improve children's education. Her reasoning is that children learn an enormous amount simply through growing and adapting to the world.

Patti’s support is that children learn through adapting to the world. But does that have to exclude parental direction? Couldn’t parents direct children’s education through encouraging them to grow and adapt to the world?

Consequently, Patti must assume that parental direction is not relevant to children’s growth and adaptation.

Patti doesn’t need to make any assumptions about why parents use directed learning. If it were for a reason other than exposure to misguided psychology, it wouldn’t contradict her argument.

Patti is arguing against parental guidance in education, so this can’t be necessary for her to assume.

On the contrary, Patti is arguing that this type of directed learning hinders children’s opportunities to learn through adaptation. So this can’t be necessary for her to assume.

Negated, this becomes: the type of directed learning in question is a necessary part of the process of growth. If so, Patti’s argument that directed learning gets in the way of growth would fall apart. Therefore, she must assume that (D) is true.

Even if Patti’s argument is about “general opportunities to learn,” it’s simply contending that they’re good. Whether they’re common or uncommon is irrelevant.
