## Opinion text

Darrell Hickman, Justice, concurring. The legislation exists which can prevent parents from seeking a better public education for their children. Perhaps it is wise and perhaps it is not, that is not for us to say. I concur to point out that I believe a guardianship can exist which will permit a child to attend a public school in a district separate from the parents.
Adkisson, J., joins in this concurrence.
