BTW, how strong is the correlation between home schooling and nutjob these days?
As a kid, I always thought the correlation approached 100%. Even as an adult, I rarely encountered folks who actually did this. But now the Gaplet is getting involved with the theater crowd, and while we're trying to make these fucking school/worlk/rehearsal/other crap schedules work, I notice that there's a higher percentage of people who reply, "Oh, Biff? Yes, well, we homeschool him."
Strikes me as weird, but I can't decide if this is just (a) you know, hey, LA, man, (b) the weird theater subculture, or (c) some really poor decisions on our part about who we're interacting with these days.
