Helping the homeschooled

You may know I am not a fan of homeschooling your children, so you may be surprised to learn that I helped a mom that home schools today.

She called me at work. She had found my name on the school web site that I which I taught. She has 2 daughters and wants [...]

Homeschooling is ‘gainst da law!

Ok, it’s been a long time since I poked the homeschoolers. I’ve been really good…and really busy. But I started reading about the court decision in California saying homeschooling is illegal unless the parents have accreditation.

This all stemmed from a case brought up by a homeschooled child who accused the parents of neglect and [...]

He was taken out [...]

Home Schooling-don’t like it.

Ok…I know I’m about to get blasted for this…or ignored…or have a legion of homeschoolers come roll my house…but not very well…but I really don’t understand the militant position most homeschoolers or homeschoolees take on their position. It’s like a cult. Very fast to jump on the anti public school wagon, but damn, don’t make [...]
