BRAVO!!! Homeschooling is one of the best things I've seen come around in my day and age. Every child we've seen be home school, is WAY above average intellectually and above their peers in public schools academically. We have a daughter in law homeschooling..and it is phenominal how advanced the kids are. She is homeschooling 4 at the moment, and one is on the way.

She also takes them to organized functions, so they have social interaction with other kids who are also home schooled or go to Charter Schools. (Which two of our other grandchildren go to. Two others are in private school...and three others are in a public school in Alaska, which is the top in the Nation).

We are very blessed with wise young adults as our grandchildrens parents.

Just wanted you to know I think what you are doing is going that EXTRA step,.. hard steps to do, but the rewards are going to be awesome.

God Bless YOU!!

Good Mornin Back. :o)

THANK YOU FOX NEWS!!!

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

Thanks for the FOX BUMP!!! I'm so touched by their support of our troops. Its just awesome. God Bless FOX!!!

One day they will hear from the troops themselves how much this lifted Esprit D' Cour!!

[hsmomx3]

Thank you!!

If you could only witness what we have in our area. We live in a middle class area and the homes are fairly new--about seven years old.

The kids who walk by on their way to/from school yell obscenities at people (us included), knock over trash cans, etc. It is appalling.

God help this country when these same kids are grown and running the U.S.A.

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

I've seen what you just mentioned. Things started to go downhill IOHO when they took God out of schools. When they took discipline out of the schools.

To be honest.. now that we see all the leftist educators,.. I'm even MORE convinced people should Home School or Charter School. If not possible...then they need to be IN THE CLASS ROOM IN DROVES!!

Can't believe that TEACHERS and Supervisors are allowing kids out to march in anti-war/American rallies sponsored by admitted COMMUNISTS!!!!

That speaks VOLUMES!!

I emailed them about closed captioning 24/7 because it's a must, IMO.

[EdReform]

Wow....I knew he had a son over there, but didn't know 'the rest of the story'.....

[anniegetyourgun]

That's been bothering me too....but I must say, I see more 'cartoon' images on other channels than I have on FOX.

What happened with the closed captioning?

Is it back on?

[Vol2727]

Is it back on?

It's back on the regular schedule as it was before the war which is what I'm complaining about.

The captioning schedule is as follows:

Mon-Fri 7 a.m until 11 p.m.

Now from 11 p.m. until five a.m. they used to do those reruns of the primetime shows and those were captioned b/c they were already captioned from the previous evening. Anytime they go to the latest update at the top of the hour (live) that wouldn't be captioned. Now that it's live through the evenings, NOTHING is captioned. Grrrr....

Weekends NONE except for a couple of hours in the evenings.

When the liberation began, Fox had continuous real time captioning UNTIL Tues. night at 11 pm. It was wonderful!! It appears they have gone back to their old captioning schedule. They did this before during the 9/11 event. They had real time captioning for like five days then stopped and went back to their old schedule. Dang, it's so frustrating for us deafies.

I've been working on this since last summer. I don't know what else to do. Except bombard them with demanding emails.

I even emailed Rush. rush@eibnet.com He's been through deafness and I thought he'd be sensitive to this issue. I was told he's friends with Roger Ailes. I have heard nothing. Perhaps you all could start bombarding Rush with this. Just an idea.

If you're curious, just turn on your cc on your TV after 11 pm or before 7 am and you'll see what I'm talking about. Just because you turn on your cc doesn't mean it's captioned. It's still up to the station who provides it.

I still say Fox News isn't fair and balanced b/c they are not thinking about the deaf viewers and I still ask how the heck can I decide if the news aren't captioned. C'mon Fox!!

Are there any other deaf FReepers in here? I would like to know how they feel about this issue. Would like to hear their input on this.

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

I'll send another e-mail. I don't understand why FOX would do this. I assume all your other channels are still cc capable and its not a cable problem. So.. I'll e-mail em' again.

Good luck!!

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

BUMP!!

[Vol2727]

Yes, all my other cable channels are still cc. MSNBC is captioned from six am til midnight on weekdays, from 7 am til 9 pm on WEEKENDS. Go figure. MSNBC dead last in the ratings but provide MORE captioning than Fox. CNN has the same schedule as Fox during the weekdays and is captioned during various programs on the weekends. Fox has got to start captioning 24/7!!

It certainly isn't a cable problem. It's the schedule and it's Fox's decision. Let's change it!!

BTW, thanks to you and all the other FReepers for your help. C'mon let's have some more emails. Let's not give up until we get it. I haven't and will not until they start CC 24/7.

And let's get some more pings in here. We've got to bombard them with emails.
