Oy vey, for the 97th time, _I am not against homeschooling_. Given a district that provides a sub-par high school education, such that your average kplugger could do a better job simply by reading a chapter ahead in the book, my instinct would be to drastically improve the school[1], thus improving the situation for all the children rather than simply yanking my kids out. Obviously, homeschoolers and I do not see eye to eye on this. This is ok. [1] Yes, I realize it may be an impossible task. Yes, I have a few ideas about how to go about it. No, I don't guarantee any of them will work. -ajb -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
