I'm in Rocky Mount. Having seen both the local public elementary schools and the unwashed yard apes of all colors, shapes, and sizes that they produce, I believe I would sooner move out of the state than send my children into these state-funded mind-grinders.
But then, I'm funny that way.
The definition of a pioneer is a guy with an arrow in his back. Defying a state truancy law is risky business.
North Carolina has a relatively good homeschool system. I wish you would reconsider, because that kind of behavior can give the rest of us problems. All you have to do is send in a one page form, then give an annual mail in achievement test. That is not exactly tyrannical. If the State finds out you are unregistered it could get pretty nasty for you.
