[Farmall] and so it goes

[Charles D. McCombs II]

I think Frank has hit on the correct solution. Unfortunately, it will likely 
be very difficult to convince the parents. Home schooling takes a tremendous 
commitment on the part of one or both parents. It is extremely difficult in 
a home where both parents work full time. No easy answers in this dilemna.
