Thanks Geoff, I knew there were people in the group who had more
direct experience than I did, and hoped one or more would expand on
the idea with more accurate details. My knowledge comes mostly from
bits and pieces picked up in our many education discussions.

Curious though, what are your thoughts on the level of monitoring and
the ease with which Hogwart's students could slip through the cracks.
Even when students change schools, the old school would likely get a
request from the new school for student transripts and records which
would indicate to the old school that the students were still in some
school somewhere. Would that be significant enough that the old school
would contact the authorities if that request didn't come?

We'd be interested in your first-hand insight into that aspect of the
question.

Thanks.
