No, Mr. Harrell.  I am not.  Public schools are required to meet
state-established curriculum standards for accreditation.  If you can show
me (by evidence and not by the "because I say so" rule) where these same
standards are enforced (for state accreditation purposes), I will gladly and
openly apologize.  Until then . . .

Take care,

Tom Hansen

  You are joking, right?



  Cheers!

The state establishes standards that are enforced at all public schools.
Private schools and home schooling are not held against these standards.  As
a result, admission into public colleges is guaged on the accreditation and
satisfaction of these same curriculum requirements (spelling bee or no
spelling bee).  Meeting these standards, coupled with a multitude of other
requirements forced on public schools, makes educational management at the
secondary level a challenge.

      Touchi, Sunil. If we want educational diversity, we need to look
outside the government schools.

        "What is this nation coming to? Do we have educational diversity or
don't we?"

        John Moss

        If we didn't have educational diversity, you wouldn't be telling us
about the private boys' school attended by the winner of the spelling bee,
or that the runner-up was home-schooled.
