“North Carolina is depending on today’s children to grow into the type of skilled workforce that attracts new business and investment. We ignore the education of 38,000 of these priceless resources at our peril.”

What is wrong with this excerpt from Friday’s editorial page?

What's wrong with it? Well for one, those 38,000 kids in peril are the best educated kids in the state.

In MA our homeschooled kids are exempt from taking the MCAS (State achievement exam). Most h/sing families are just as glad they don't have to take it, but I suspect our kids could wipe the floor with most of the public schooled kids in the state. Maybe that's why the State doesn't require it; it would certainly make them look bad, wouldn't it?
