This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
School buses without supervision = Lord of the Flies
I agree w/ that 100%.
17,000 injuries requiring emergency room admission. Think about all the physician and dentist treatment that is never reported.
I have been saying for years that it has NEVER been studied whether the child is safer in the parents car, in a seat belt, to and from school, as compared to the school bus.
And...”... 17,000 U.S. children to emergency rooms each year, more than double the number in previous estimates that only included crashes.
Nearly one-fourth of the accidents occur when children are boarding or leaving school buses, while crashes account for 42 percent, the new research shows.”
