I will quote Prof. Mora from UConn. One comment he made a few years ago was this: "What makes you stop when you see a stop sign? Is it the sign itself that has the authority to make you obey it? Is it the police who enforce such law?
What makes you stop is the fact that the state apparatus has enforcers who will make sure you do stop at a stop sign. If enforcement was minimal or none existent, an entire culture of disobeying laws develops and under such circumstances, a stop sign become little else than a simple decoration on a street corner."
Between your neighbor and the police officer, the neighbor will be subject to the police officer.
Between you and the police officer, the police officer will be subject to your right of peace and quiet on your private property. However, the police officer is simply following his duty as a cop, which is to "serve and protect the public".
So the student controls the classroom?
Who imposes the rules of conduct in the classroom, the teacher or his students?

The Meter-Maid, Cop, and Crossing Guards are all enforcers of the law that civilians have created to keep things in order, therefore civilians hire and order the police to enforce the law. The cop is no more of an enforcer than the FBI agent, DEA agent, Security Guard, or Meter-Maid, just different laws they enforce, and since they are subjected to the same type of enforcement, technically they have no more rights than the average civilian.
Of course the rules in the classroom are enforced solely by the teacher and administration. But I may add that the teacher follows a curriculum that must be satisfactory to the student and the fact that payment of tuition gives the student body the ability to remove an educator or to make significant change.
This whole thing goes around in circles. Now the King and his subjects would be a perfect example.
