I'm sorry to hear that. It's not the case at all here. Ours is called a "center for independent learning," and is specifically designed to help facilitate home-based education. There is a mechanism in place to ensure that all state-mandated educational requirements are met, but the families have the freedom to build their children's curricula around their own particular strengths and interests, and to focus in on the areas that are most in need of improvement. Enrollment is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, with the only exception being that if a child has a sibling already enrolled, they cannot be denied enrollment, allowing families to ensure that all of their children are enrolled in the same school system.
