God cannot be good to allow so much evil and suffering agree or disagree?

I would disagree with the posed statement. God, being a God of love, wanted us to love him back. In order to do this, he gave us the gift of freewill so that we could choose to love him or choose not to; ie- love isn't truly love if it is not freely given. Had he not given us freewill, we would be no better than robots following a program, and therefore incapable of truly loving in return.
The other side of freewill, obviously, is that we have the ability to choose to hurt ourselves, hurt others, hurt the environment, etc. Some would ask why God couldn't have made us "with freewill but the inability to do evil", but this statement is illogical, similar to "Can God make a rock so big he can't lift it".
CS Lewis probably said it better than I can: God created things which had free will. That means creatures which can go either wrong or right. Some people think they can imagine a creature which was free but had no possibility of going wrong; I cannot. If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having

No, not unless their parents agree to allow it. And even if the parents agree to allow it, an unemancipated minor cannot enroll themselves in school. The parents would have to give custody of the minor to an adult in the other state and then that adult would be the minor's guardian.
What happens in the UK when two executors do not agree?
When co-executors cannot agree then they each need to have their own attorney (or solicitor) and then allow the attorneys to complete the proceedings. Generally, an attorney will not allow the client to impede the process unnecessarily. Generally, the attorneys will be paid by the estate so it benefits the estate for the co-executors to act reasonably and responsibly to preserve the assets that will eventually pass to the beneficiaries.
