[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 327502, member: 7083"] It's a public school, not a private school. I don't know how it is there, but around here you don't get to choose which public school you go to. There are 5 elementary schools in our SD and you can [I]try[/I] to go to one that is not your assigned school, but it depends on if they have space. And you may get in one year, but not the next. Then, we have one middle school, one junior high and one high school. If you want to attend a school in another district, you can - if they have space, and if you can afford the tuition, and can manage the transportation. So, a public school in that scenario is supposed to have that much say about how a person/child cuts their hair? No. Children are entitled to a free, appropriate education, as we all here know. Maybe the parents aren't equipped to homeschool for one reason or another. The...if you don't like it homeschool him argument...is pretty arrogant. In a lot of families, both parents work outside the home. I find this to be one more example of intolerance and I've really had about enough of it in our country. [/QUOTE]
