A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Anecdotally, I have seen a dramatic increase in junior high and high school students and their parent/guardians using “home schooling” or “online schooling” to drop out early. I think it does a disservice to those who are truly homeschooling their children to have these “students” in the same category as them. I think a situation in which a registration for homeschooling should at least be looked at.

How about just leave everyone alone? You know how you solve the problem of parents failing to properly home-school their children? Stop providing any and all social / welfare benefits for able-bodied working-aged people, regardless of how they were or were not educated. It’ll take a generation, but they’ll get the message. Get some knowledge, get a skill, get a job.
