You've got those who are actually schooled at home by parents....and you've got those who have been suspended for being problem children, and are therefore at home - and they are still called homeschooled.
Both get the homeschool label but only one deserves it. Which type were these perps?
Yeah, my homeschooled kid (type 1) became friends with a homeschooled kid (type 2) for awhile. The difference was huge. They are no longer friends because the kid swindled my kid out of $80. My kid was sweet, generous, and trusting. Is that the fault of homeschooling? Probably. That kid was manipulative, dishonest, and rotten. Let me also say that he wasn't homeschooled until high school, and that was because he was failing in public school.

That's my question, too.
The media is only reporting, as far as I've seen, that Ludwig was "homeschooled" -- no information about why or how or for how long he was homeschooled.
I thought journalists were supposed to ask who, what, when, where, why. Guess that's gone out of fashion.
Now it's sufficient for journalists to intone, ominously, "homeschooled" -- as if all homeschooling situations were the same (bad, of course), and that's all the public needs to know.
