Homestead mailing list

["Lynda" <lurine AT softcom.net>]

Actually, the feds are getting their data.  The list of information that 
schools can (spell that are encouraged to collect) collect about students is 
now at over 700 items including their medical records, dental records, 
parents medical records, parents dental records, etc.

Like the backdoor draft, when in doubt, the feds, particularly now that NCLB 
is in effect, use the backdoor to get the information they want.
