I’ve heard a number of stories about parents who wanted to pull their children from public schools, and the public schools put up a big fuss until part way through the year, when they got the majority of the funding, and then the public school officials let the parents homeschool. Money is a great motiviation. In fairness to the public school officials, there are many prisoners/students at public schools today who would make a point of being tardy if they realized the school would lose money. I can understand why they might not want the students to know that they lose money. Many things that public schools do is about money.

They'd rather have it appear that they don't want the kiddies to miss out on 'valuable educational instruction time". It's all about the money (IAATM)! Vampire in training Shannon-
