Interesting article from Texas, who are evidently having even more difficulties with off-rolling than we are in this country!

OMG some schools get some kids to take up home education means smaller class for the other children sounds like a good thing every one wins!
ReplyDeleteBut the ethos in Texas is very different. There the education of children is considered not to be the business of the state unless they are at a state school. It's a form of "free choice" much like carrying a gun......Texas is well known to be probably the least regulated place in the western world for a great number of things
