OOOH, SCARY!
A bit of fearmongering in an otherwise unremarkable piece about home education in Massachusetts:
“The one thing to keep in mind is, home-schooled kids are not taking MCAS,” state Department of Education spokeswoman Heidi Perlman said. “So home-schooled kids are not receiving a diploma.”
And it’s dooming so many of them to four years at the college of their choice! Yikes!

…and never miss an opportunity to whine about NCLB, even when you fail to blame lack of funding on the home-educated students removed from the system. “Only occasionally has a parent expressed a problem specifically with the Lowell public schools, he added” Of course with that statistically significant group of 31 families, how many of them ever actually had a child enrolled to create a problem? |

Poor kid. Free for one semester and then sent back to jail. Parental recidivism by proxy. Maybe I can get that included in the DSM-V. |
