I'm sure there are other exceptional cases I'm not thinking of, but as a point of education philosophy I'm agin it.
We get a lot of students who have health issues that prevent them from physically making it to school on a regular basis.
I was in an anti-drug-and-alcohol program in high school. Mostly I think we were sanctimonious little pricks. But I did manage to stay away from drugs. (The alcohol, not so much, but that wasn't until well into college.) Oh, and also develop a violent Pavlovian response to Bonnie Tyler's "Turn Around."

I say we pimp the book at Mid-Ohio Con. I'll wear a sandwich board and Ailleann can hand out flyers.
There was a DARE t-shirt in my household at some point, but the sum total of what I learned from mandatory drug education is that alcohol can stunt your growth.
Also, that caffeine intensifies the effect of some painkillers, which is what Excedrin actually is.
Yes, I learned everything I know about the drug industry from
New Jack City
and
That Scottish Movie About Ewan's Nudity And Vomit.
My dad was a customs officer so all I learned about identifying illegal drugs was from the manuals that he brought home.

When I was 11, my mother called me up to my 17 year old brother's room and asked, "is that smell pot?" I replied, "No, Mom, that's incense. They used that to cover the smell of pot."
It was like a bad ABC After School special.
Happy birthday Leif!
Slippers accounted for over 37 000 injuries, flower pots for 3500, and tissue paper injured over 1500 people.
How does tissue paper injure one?
Seconding the rec for 4-H - that was the only social activity in school that I enjoyed. Not all livestock.
Cash, ha!
My parents were counterculture freaks and I went to hippie school.
Fill in the blanks.
I don't understand why the marketing people seem so allergic to the word "online." It's a perfectly good buzzword!
Cromulent, even.
Allyson, is it basically the same cover, only with lame-o substitute subtitle? As long as they didn't lose the mouse, I think people will grok that it's about fandom rather than cults. And, yes, an Allyson tour would be great. We could even do up buttons of the vampire!mouse like the ones someone did for Nilly Tour 2004.

I had a couple of students like that last semester. They had a homeschool teacher, a teacher from our school who went to their house every day and worked with them on their assignments from their regular classroom teachers. Then, when they could come to school, they knew what we were doing in class and could slip right in to school for however long they could.
I had one student who came to school about 2 days per week but kept up on all her assignments at home with the homeschool teacher. I had another who came about 1 day per week on average. Same deal with him.
