Sure it does. As I said above, perhaps the home schooling crowd will be a bit slower to gloat next time. Anytime there is an incident involving a public school kid, you can count on an element of the home school crowd gleefully posting away.

Talk about insensitive...what? are you trying to politicitize on this tragic event? politicizing whatever educational interaction occurs between a parent & a child? (as if public & private kids don't learn from their parents @ home as well--a seeming assumption of yours)...

Haven't you actually read media reports that said that this man (not a kid) was released from missionary training because of his health? Haven't you considered that this might be a veiled reference to mental health?

And speaking on behalf of parents who may have such children that they dearly love & serve & educate, haven't you considered that a parent may have alternative reasons for home-schooling a child other than a belief that home schooling trumps all other options?

Can't you comprehend the possibility that if you are a parent of a child with a mental health issue, that the home environment might be the best environment for some minors in that situation?

So you're telling me that just because some minors who may have mental health issues might do best in a home educational environment, that you're going to try to politicize this as some kind of dig against all home schoolers everywhere?
