lol - that is interesting and doesn't surprise me. There is an article about homeschoolers posted at the end which is so incredibly biased against homseschoolers. Again, like your saying, treating them like religious freaks, zealots etc..
The reporter writes: "Researchers told the newspaper that the academic world has been reluctant to study home schoolers because a large number of families resist outside contact and prefer not to answer questions."
lol - they 'resist outside contact'. Makes them sound like a cult!
Thanks for the PING,we must abolish the DOE!
