The law in California is the same as it was before this case.FCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13736696.post-69495314896499083292008-03-22T19:18:00.000-07:002008-03-22T19:18:00.000-07:00I don't know if this supports your positition or not.<BR/><BR/>I dropped out of the 6th grade in Texas in 1969. When I went back to night school in Florida in 1975, I was not behind students that had dropped out of the 11th and 12th grades. My only reading in the meantime was recreational. There is no way 5 grades can be skipped and still be on a level playing field IF those students had been getting a legitimate education. <BR/><BR/>In my case, no schooling actually matched public schooling. All four teachers in that semester told me to get a GED and quit wasting my time in their classes. <BR/><BR/>OTOH, I still don't quite deal with people as well as those that did school with their peers. And I used to be much worse.rednecknoreply@blogger.com
