There are private schools and homeschooling available where the parents can call the shots.

I had to laugh here! Kids can get away with what they want when they are homeschooling (or rather, get away with what their parents will let them), but I have taught in the public and private sector, and let me tell you (not the poster, more generally here...) the behavior that is exhibited by many students in public schools (where parents get upset if their child has to miss recess, stay after school, miss a field trip, etc...) would NEVER be tolerated in most private schools. They don't need, and don't want those types of students there.

And yes, that includes kindergarten!

This is probably a topic for another thread, but I know, in real life, way to many parents that think their precious angel can do no wrong.
