ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

That’s funny and brings back memories of my Black Market Bubblegum back in middle school.

I think maybe it’s time some parents make it clear that the school board works for them, not vice versa.

It could very well be that most of the parents would endorse this. VT is a socialist state.

So when do they ban all sweets from all Gov’t offices?
