I don't have any trouble believing this story. This is happening in my state, at least on a smaller scale. A SAHM friend of mine signed up with a neighboring school district to be a tutor for children who can't go to school. She told me she thought she would be dealing with children who were laid up due to a broken leg or some other injury or illness.

It turns out, every one of her assignments so far has been to provide in-home instruction to a child who is home due to being stressed out or just afraid to go to school.

One of the children was too stressed out to take the spring high-stakes standardized test and was out of school during the review sessions. Her youngest assignment was a first grader. She said that students in these situations are entitled, by law I guess, to some number of days of tutoring.

I was being sarcastic... but it's still shocking to realize to what depths the bureacrazis have descended.

Universal education gone wild...and dumbed down....just what the socialist Dewey envisioned: leadership by the elites and the proletariat who pays for this abomination too stupid to do anything about it.
