Wow. That's something I never thought of before. Thanks for sharing
something for me to think about.

A colleague of mine here hs her son last year out of necessity (he couldn't
pass the nasty exams and move into the next grade and was already old for
his grade level). They are Kenyan and her whole family was horrified that
she was hs because for them public schooling is the only way out. We've
talked about it quite a bit and it's made me realize what a luxury it is to
be able to say no to factory education for my kids.

Kate -- off to a hs meeting. We actually have 7 families now:))) Two from
South Africa, one Kenyan, one Australian, one Brit, one US, and me (mutt).
