One more note: therapists can be successfully sued if they report past criminal acts a client tells them about. Only if child is in danger or threat of murder can they report it. Ditto lawyer and doctor, they put your interest as a client above all else, as an advocate. Problematic, but absolute law. You'd have to say the client threatened to kill you if you reported it to avoid risk of losing your license and being sued for $$$$$

Love it, as always. That said, the long, long riff on homeschooling was really uninformed. I'm no supporter, but at recent state awards (for National History Day projects), I watched homeschooled kids take home a bunch of medals. I like to say you get a genius with bad social skills or an illiterate, feral mess when you homeschool. But both ends of the spectrum happen.
