A quote from Lincoln school board member Earl Hunton, in today's NWA Times:

"This is a good situation for parents who want to home school thier children and also want a quality education for them."

Ouch.

This is in regards to a charter high school within Lincoln High School where 100 of the 130 students are home schooled.

The school gets about $6,000 per student from the state. New rules say that to get the funds, a student has to be physically in the school 20 hours per week to be counted. Meaning that if the home schoolers stay home schooled, there goes $600,000.

No wonder he's putting them (me) down.
