It does not, unless the home school would have some type of satellite classroom setting, and I would hope and look for the day that it would. Because, again, there is no one that has a higher opinion and a greater respect for the home schoolers of this country than I do. They simply have done such a magnificent job that all of us could learn greatly from them. I hope we do. Interesting to the gentleman's point, one of the great educational philanthropists in this country, John Walton, recently said in a roundtable that, ``In any system, if you want to increase the attention a group receives, you must increase their power. The best way to empower school children and parents is to let them direct the money.''
