I’ve never been much good at goodbyes. When I left Valley Catholic Middle School at age 12, a grand total of eight people knew I was moving to California. When changing schools in the middle of fifth grade, I told my classmates about the move on the day it happened. The funny thing is, I never remember leaving.

This story originally appeared in the April 4th issue of The Saratoga Falcon. When a California state appeals court ruled on Feb. 28 that all homeschooled children should be taught by a credentialed teacher, homeschoolers and their supporters were outraged.
