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.

Sometimes it’s better NOT to put what you’re thinking in writing.....

“If your child is either too lazy or too stupid to finish it in class, I'm sending it home so that you can work with them and judge for yourself whether it is laziness or idiocy that inhibits your child's progress”

If this constitutes an act worthy of suspension my grandfather would have been sent to the chair. Thanks to the good man's taunting I learnt Math well and tried to actually be good at it.

The sad thing is, he's probably right...the kids are too lazy and/or stupid to do the work.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

He’s in a position to know. I’ll bet he’s right on the money.

Were he not a straight white male, this story would have never seen daylight.

[DJ MacWoW]

also contained passages about students with peanut allergies and emotional problems stemming from puppy deaths.

This would be what would concern me. Doesn't sound like he understands little ones at all.

He said this about 2nd graders? Seven year olds? Sheesh....

So, the educrat who told the parents the truth about their under performing ‘lil darlins is being punished?

Just more proof that no good deed goes unpunished.

I would probably be accused of child abuse.

I use the judge’s quote from Caddyshack everytime I think my girls are not trying their hardest -

“The world needs ditch diggers too.”
