My So-Called Homeschool

I was just watching WDIV news here in Detroit, covering the viewing of President Gerald Ford here in Michigan.  People came expecting to wait 3-4 hours in line, but some ended up having to wait up to 8 hours!  They interviewed a guy, who was asked “Did you wait that long?”  He answered “No.  The kids have to go to school tomorrow!” in an “of course not” tone of voice.  Can you imagine the principal who wouldn’t excuse an absence to experience something like that?  Or the parent who wouldn’t let their kid take an unexcused absence anyway?  If the kids were older, we’d heading to Grand Rapids ourselves, in fact we’d probably be waiting in line right now!
