Their parents are "home schooling" them. A phrase that makes me shudder.
(Yes there are a lot of people who are capable of giving their children a good education when home schooled.)
However, there are people who apparently only read when they are shopping that I worry about.

| 13. Correction: September 24th is "National Punctuation Day"! |

Edited on Tue Sep-15-09 09:19 AM by HamdenRice
The exclamation point should come after the close quote, because the quoted phrase is not the entire exclamation, but the title of the day.
