[Non-Sequitur]

Ummm...because public school education just generally sucks for about a hundred reasons?

If it sucks then why should she want anything at all to do with it?

Home schoolers (I am not against it) sometimes seem to me like a cult. I don't mean that in a bad way but they are all in their own worlds and when for example you are not allowed in a "school band" they get upset. Why did it not occur to them to create a home school band? Once again I have no problems with homeschooling for those that can do it but I don't see all public schools as "evil" or all public school teachers as "over paid incompetents".

The line I found interesting from the article was:

"Say a student from Wymore wanted to march. Would anyone care? Probably not. But the perception is, ‘This is the Beatrice High School band,' and we have to protect that."

Protect it from what? Sounding better? She is their best clarinet player.
