The positive correlation between the use of LARCs (IUDs, Norplant, Depo-Provera, etc.) by teens and their STD infection rates is firmly established. They believe they are “safe,” so they fornicate freely, but none of these products does anything to prevent the transmission of infections.
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.
I've noticed that the public school defenders have been conspicuously absent lately.
And I've also noticed a steep decline in the situation within the public school and that the reasons to homeschool are getting more and more extreme.
Isn't it amazing? A teen girl is smart enough to choose to have a medical device implanted in her body ( with all its life-altering and life-threatening risks) but her parents are too stupid to wisely use a school voucher!
Hmmmmmm...In my state, the school nurse can’t even dispense an aspirin without parental consent.
This is preposterous!
EODGUY
But the folks who simply think you're a nut are still here.
Yes, I recall your having mentioned that a few times previously.
If you continue to post, some may conclude that you are a stalkier.
I'm not sure what a "stalkier" is.. is it something French?
Actually, yes.
A "Stalkier" (pronounced "stall-key-yay" is the guy in a French restaurant who cleans the leaves and pulls the threads out of the celery.
Why would anyone assume I’m a French salad-worker simply
because of a post on Free Republic? It makes no sense.
I’m going to be confused all day.
It's your erudition and general suave charm.
Must be. Comes of hanging around all those country clubs and institutes of higher learning.
IUDs don’t cause AIDS.
* * *
Of course not, but they don’t prevent the transmission of viruses etc. between partners (unlike condoms, which at least reduce the rate of transmission). An IUD used *with* condoms would probably keep you pregnancy-free and disease-free, mostly. (Though of course that doesn’t address the psychological repercussions of teens — basically still children, in many ways — engaging in an activity which even full adults have many issues with.)
Oh yeah, and there’s the little issue of underage children being provided with a medical device without knowledge of their parents. But what the hey.
