One thing that we have to remember, the head of JSA, was Abbie’s old teacher in elementary school. When she left to go to open JSA, A&P the following year, started the lawsuit on Duval County Schools. Abbie definitely wasn’t getting the supervision that she required but sadly, that is typical in a lot of public schools.
We all know A&P never could have fully afforded JSA, especially back then. I really believe that is the reason they sued though. They wanted Abbie at JSA period.
It doesn’t shock me that Asa would be watching public school meetings. Sometimes, they can change homeschooling rules, by what the local schools are required to cover and give homeschoolers (in my area, public schools are required to give therapies to homeschoolers with IEPs).
