Would the literacy rate decrease or increase if the public school systems were dissolved or if education focused on a state level? If the public school system was dissolved, would religious schools start popping up across the country? Is it appropriate to move closer to a foreign country that may have more radical religious schools than we do, or would we be safe from it because it’s not in today’s Western culture?

How do I know if it is too soon?
Starting age in BC is 5 for Kindergarten… I think the rule is has to be 4 by Dec 31st 06 to start in Fall 07

And if I had one word to discribe my daughters want to go to school would be EXCITED. She was so disappointed that she could not attend school this year(Fall 06).

I have asked my daughter and her answer was something like “Please please please can I go, can I start today, please can I go, mommy please!”

Thanks so far on the advice
