I don't remember the original very well, but was Carrie homeschooled in the original??

I am not on either side of the home-school vs. regular school issue but i think it was a fairly accurate portrayal of what could happen unchecked, minus the telekenetic powers. I am referring to the awkardwness / weirdness fitting into normal society. The 2013 film stated that Carrie was homeschooled until the state made it illegal. I did not realize there was states where it was illegal.
