Dear Fletcher J,

Your post is dishonest in its failure to provide context.

Adam Lanza WAS homeschooled. Apparently for 11th and 12th grade. From Kindergarten through 10th grade, as far as I can determine, he attended public and private elementary schools and public high school.

And after being homeschooled for two years, he then attended a public university.

It seems that two years of homeschooling were insufficient to undo the damage of 11 years of traditional schooling, and a couple of dozen people paid the price for that damage.

When we see that a child begins “homeschooling” in the 10th, 11th, or 12th grade chances are good that this child is not homeschooled. He is a drop out or a “push -out” from the government indoctrination camps.

Before we moved, in our other state, we were members of congregation that had many lower class members. It was appalling how many “push-outs” into homeschooling there were in our congregation. These kids were not being homeschooled. They just weren't wanted in their government indoctrination camps and it was the **principals** and counselors in these indoctrination camps who encouraged the parents to remove their kids.

The entire scam was very irritating to legitimate homeschoolers.

And....You are right. There is little opportunity to undo the educational and psychological damage done by our prison-like government schools when a child has spent 10 or more years in the prison ( oops! “school”).

A false dichotomy is being raised. Life does not happen in a vacuum. To say that is is either the homeschooling or public schooling is in error. We need to examine the facts before we jump to any conclusions (As many have already done).

How much was due to being in a broken home? How much was due to playing violent video games for hours on end alone in a dark windowless basement? How much was due to his own psychosis?
