CORPUS CHRISTI — School and gardening are priorities for the children at a local shelter who were taken from a West Texas polygamist sect.
The children started home schooling one hour a day last week in reading, writing, math and other courses and will work their way up to learning for four hours per day, said Delma Trejo, director of the Ark Assessment Center and Emergency Shelter for Youth in Corpus Christi.
"It's going really well for them," Trejo said. "(The home schooling is) easier on the older ones than the younger ones. All of the older ones can read. The younger ones can read a little, and they know their alphabet but they're just too young."
Trejo indicated the children's education level is on par with that of other children their age.

“Trejo indicated the children’s education level is on par with that of other children their age.”
Well, once again, it’s one of those things I don’t mind being wrong about.
