Welllll, you're half right <g>  The law isn't on the books the way the judge
decided it is.  The R4 does not require credentialled teachers.  The judge
decided that parents weren't elligible to use the R4.  That isn't the law
and the law clearly reads that anyone can be a private school.  It even
divides the R4 up into categories for 1-5 students and 6 or more students.

And you're right about the teapot.  It has a name, H$LDA!
