You're probably right, I hadn't thought of that. One man even asked the Superintendent if it was legal for a teacher to homeschool.
I am amazed at how so many people pour themselves into their children's school through involvement in athletic booster clubs and other activities. Their lives seem to be centered around our local school.
I seem to remember reading a similar story some years ago from the Seattle area. That case involved actual outrage by a lot of people in the school district, because the person in question was a school principal!
