CS, school is different these days, at least here. In elementary, there isn't much sitting in rows listening to the teacher speak. The day seems to be a collection of group work activities, in fact, there aren't rows, there are pods.
Kids are coming and going from class all day for a variety of things, so it's pretty common and accepted, which is good.
I can understand why the voucher system didn't pass in CA. The public education system for the whole state would have come crashing down.
There was no way it was going to pass, even if it passed. KWIM
