APOLOGIES TO HOUSEWIFE!!!

Submitted by liza on 11 April 2007 - 5:31pm.

In cleaning the comments of spam I accidentally deleted Pissed Off Housewive's comment.

Nope, I think homeschooling can be a great thing.

I think that many homeschool parents are woefully unprepared to educate their children.

The groups I know of in my area are fundamentalist X-tians who use home school as a bible study to the exclusion of science and fact.

Also, in reading many home school blogs I find the "educators" to not have the broad range of knowledge required for upper elementary and certainly moving into Junior High and High School years I cannot imagine their being competent instructors.

I understand the need for home school in some instances but I've not yet observed a home school setting that inspires faith or awe.

Perhaps someone in the Los Angeles area would like to invite me over?

I'm willing to be impressed, I'm open to it, I just haven't seen it yet.

Words to live by

How do we know? I mean, what you're saying is fine. But how do we know that that's actually the law? I mean there are a lot of people who absolutely in very good faith would say that isn't competing harm. They would say that the competing right for the life of the fetus is more important than the possibility of the mother having children in the future herself. See, there are people in good faith on both sides of this argument. And so how do we know that ... your competing harms defense is going to do for this particular woman what a health exception would do?
