at least it turns out all the koi (all 14 we thought were eaten by a crane) did not perish. the predator only ate 3 of the 14 and the remaining 11 hid deep in a pipe at the back of the pond. mike put the net back on and when the lily pads came up they started coming out again.

Coffee for Kate...all good coffee cups are stained.  Just like all good hearts.  Notice the "peoples" eye!

But that homeschooled kid would still have to pass the state’s GED exam. And the parents have to provide the local school system with the kid’s work and grades at the end of the year. And and and… (too much for a comment box)

Well, a poll from 1999 states 38% of people home school because of their religious beliefs. This is the type I have a problem with, you can bet these people aren't teaching their kids sex-ed, how to debate and just cut any kind of subject they don't think is appropriate out. It doesn't give kids enough space to create their own beliefs, get the full information in some fields. It might be a good thing, but in my opinion it really gives you the chance to nit pick and only teach kids what you want them to know and dismiss anything else as ungodly, immoral or pure lies.

And according to 2007 data 72% of parents home school their kids in order to provide religious or moral instruction. Take that as you will.

Though you're a teacher so I'll assume you have a lot better feel for these things, this is just my humble opinion.
