Paul, what I found most revealing about the News & Observer piece on homeschooling was one of the comments from Eddie Davis, president of the NC Association of Educators — the powerful teacher union. Those of Davis’ mindset regularly express concern about the system (money and control.) It is sad that they endorse a one-size-fits-all monopoly system that can’t possibly serve the needs and desires of all kids and their parents. And which kids end up losing? The most vulnerable: those whose parents don’t have the means or commitment to opt out of a situation that isn’t working for them. Sad.
