Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Pete, I know you didn't mean it this way, but the phrase you used (see below) makes it sound like states can opt out of allowing homeschooling, which they can't (although they can and do regulate it in widely differing ways). You might have meant "attendance in school" to include homeschooling, but it wasn't clear. Also, "all minors" isn't exact, because the typical age ranges for compulsory schooling/homeschooling don't cover everybody under 18 (it might be something like age 5 or 6 or 7 to age 16 or 17, depending on where you live and on when the birthday falls in the school year). I can't answer any of your questions - I just wanted to point that out.
