Subject: RE: BS: Polygamy a Protected Practice in Canada?
Many people in British Columbia consider home schooling a constitutional right, and legislative members will not vote against it.
Personally, I believe in strong standards, but I don't see them taking hold in B. C. for everyone.

One of the most interesting exceptions to uniform education is in Alberta, where the 166 Hutterite colonies educate their children to a modified standard, mostly basic subjects, to age 15, grade 9 equivalent, in English and their version of Low German. The children are treated as adults at age 15. The local public school board provides the teachers and the Hutterite colony provides the facilities, for which they charge the local school board.
