Education

Golly. I didn't see that coming...

For the "instant gratification" crowd, we were probably half-way into the session before it finally hit me what appeared to be happening. The now-amended bill drops the plan-reporting requirement and creates a study commission, and even that barely earned an OTP recommendation, with an anemic 9-8 vote, 5/6/2008.

"Relative to home education of children." Is there anyone other than bureaucrats supporting this? How many represented voters have expressed support? How many have expressed vocal opposition? How many homeschoolers equal one bureaucrat, anyway? Gotta be fractional, doesn't it?

"Relative to home education of children." I think the Chair grasps it all fairly well at about 1:09:15. Coulda sworn that was the primary argument for removing the requirement 2 years ago, wasn't it? Results-based (of the education process, not of the rule-making process) assessment? What's changed since then?
