Yes I can. But if I lived in Alberta I would have the third option of sending them to public school and being notified and offered a choice when things come up I might be concerned with. The school gets higher enrollment which might mean enough funding for a second language teacher or something like that and the children who would have been homeschooled get a fuller education. I don't see the down side. Why must parents conform to the school or be left completely out. Why is Alberta not being seen as progressive by allowing a simple compromise that will probably bring more Albertain children into the public system?
