I'm quite confident that Dan Rather shall be objective on the topic of homeschooling. / SARCASM.

[AD from SpringBay]

Objectivity, thy name is Rather.

[docmcb]

I want to keep an eye on this story.

[ladylib]

Thanks.

We had a child abuse case recently in my state where the school knew something was going on (the mother showed up to school drunk) yet they did nothing about it as far as reporting her to the state. She killed her son.

[Dutchgirl]

Any suggestion that they would balance the story of violence against "non-homeschooled-homeschoolers" with statistics on public school student-on-student battery, gun violence and sexual predators?

Here in N. Florida a 15 year old was sucker punched by a 17 year old, went into a coma and died several days later...in an elementary school, a girl was raped in the bathroom and the principal made comments to the effect that she invited the assault by going into the boys bathroom...somehow, I never saw that on the national news.

Big surprise here. As long as those unqualified parents keep teaching lies to their unsocialized children someone has to speak up. Anyway when they grow up they'll just be malcontents. Its better to nip this homeschool mess in the bud now and get everybody on the same page. Wouldnt want commoners to think for themselves.

[ladylib]

As far as the non-homeschooling students in NC, the state requires that homeschoolers register with the state and take annual tests.

These people were truant -- not homeschooling. Homeschooling and truancy are two different things.

What about the criminal teacher's aid that duct taped kids a couple of weeks ago?

Let Rather do a piece on the criminal activities in the public schools by teachers on students. There are plenty of them -- from pedophilia to physical abuse.

Nice to know that the producer of the program admits it's a trash job. So much for objectivity.

[agrace]

...the intent of the report is to encourage further state and federal government regulation of homeschooling.

Nice.

A ping for your list!

[AAABEST]

What about the criminal teacher's aid that duct taped kids a couple of weeks ago?

[ladylib]

Let Danny Boy report on that, not that anyone watches Channel 2 news anymore.

[LiteKeeper]

INTREP - HOMESCHOOLING

[Luke Skyfreeper]

I'm confused. Is this to be broadcast only in NC, or nationwide?

[ladylib]

Nationwide.

[Marie]

I suggest that FOX news do a F&B report on public schools and child abuse.

I've had to delete my original reply because I'm too furious to think straight. I'm certain that whatever my response to this biased piece of &$#%, it'll be way too "colorful". I don't know if I should watch it or not.

the CBS Evening News

What's that? Which blogspot is it on? Do you have the link?

I don't know anyone that has ever referred to that blog...

[Semaphore Heathcliffe]

...and that the intent of the report is to encourage further state and federal government regulation of homeschooling.

somebody's scared.
