Hi there,

I'm fairly new to this list and have been lurking so far, trying to keep
track of all the very interesting threads and topics that are in discussion,
so I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.

What I was wondering is, where are the Wizarding children who turn out to be
squibs educated?  Are they educated at all and if so, what are they taught?
I'm asking because it seems that the curriculum at Hogwarts is designed to
teach those with magical ability.  What use would all those classes on
charms and transfiguration be to someone who isn't able to use magic at all?
It seems to me that the classes they could participate in would be Muggle
Studies, History of Magic and maybe some Potions (ones that wouldn't need a
magical/wand component).  Also, does anyone have any idea what the rate for
sqib births are in comparison to births of children with magical ability?
Are sqibs rare or fairly commonplace?

Karen
