This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive. ~

Mia Levy (lady in the red shirt) hits most of it on the head...
The biggest thing that it is not mentioned ... is that it is ILLEGAL for the government to meddle in local education .. PERIOD
My son has only been in pre-school we chose and we sent him to private learning centers because the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT cannot be flexible enough to allow kids who are academically proficient to enter grades/classes beyond a certain age ... and then to get those exceptions once the whatever arbitrary ages are reached, there are administrative hurdles and roadblocks that have to be dealt with.
Education is a local decision requiring a local solution .. not a state-mandated one size fits all ... Why do you think there are private schools and why do even public school teachers send their kids to them?????
Because the government is incompetent and this exercise in a grasp of power that it is trying to sell as a right (which it is not) has failed .. and the victims have been the last 30+ graduating classes and the existing public school body of children since Carter formed the illegal Department of Education

I'm the pre-school in our family right now, so until I die, no worries here
I don't like the idea. I wouldn't vote for it.
