[Vision2020] DoDEA to Discontinue Remote Hme School Program

[J Ford]

Em...how?

We have an excellent system here in Moscow...if the parent chooses not to 
take advantage of that or of one of the private schools here...it is up to 
them to educate, up to standards that would allow their child to enter 
college, voc school or the military, or be prepared to have that kid in 
their home the rest of their (parent's) lives.  No education - no job...that 
simple.
