LMAO How Ironic!!!!!

I took my child out of school because a teacher was abusive to the class, and even smacked my daughter! in front of witnesses no less!!! (among other things to boot.)

It's probably best if I just sit back and chuckle alittle while instead of commenting on this article. ;)

Everyone knows that only nutjobs homeschool their kids, and that's exactly what homeschooling turns kids into: nutjobs.

Figure it out.

"North Carolina should examine its home-school laws to see if they provide cover for parents who abuse their children, according to a task force that reviewed the murder-suicide of three Johnston County teens."

Wha...?

Are they looking for a clause, subsection that says "Abusive Parents"

Article XXX Subsection X-XX

If you are an abusive parent and would like cover for your actions, submit such-and-such a form....

What total idiocy. You might as well say that for every marriage license.

Here is what Article 39 says of Nonpublic schools:

In conformity with the Constitutions of the United States and of North Carolina, it is the public policy of the State in matters of education that "No human authority shall, in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience," or with religious liberty and that "religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind . . . the means of education shall forever be encouraged."

Home-schooling seen as possible cover for abuse

If I "see" my 10 year old Forp pickup as a $150K sports car, will it become one? Must be a slow news day.

Well, you had to figure the anti-home schooling crowd was going to get around to this eventually. The next step is palce all parents applying for home-schooling a "watch list" as potential abusers. This will require frequent home invasions by social workers who will cite parents for such abuses as smoking, gun ownership, fatty foods, right-wing reading material left out, etc.

"So now all children must be inspected by the state? Must insure compliance I suppose."

Leave No Child Behind with their parents; the Carnegie Corporation and Rockefeller Foundation-directed NEA government hacks will rear your children for you. Shut up, go to work, pay your taxes, and don't make a fuss.

Nothing you've said is too far-fetched, sad to say.

...such abuses as smoking, gun ownership, fatty foods, right-wing reading material left out, etc...

Yikes ! We homeschool and alltho' we don't smoke or own guns (well, not yet) we do eat fatty foods (gasp--even red meat ! sometimes even caribou !!) and have right-wing material (and BIBLES) out in full view. Plus my kids know what a FReeper is -- Lordy ! would we be in trouble !

[Pistias]

You really want to take the fun out of my day, don't you?

[justanotherfreeper]

Here's what I want to know: what percentage of public school kids are abused compared to home schooled kids? My guess is public school kids have an exponentially greater percentage of abuse cases than homeschoolers.

[PsyOp]

Bibles are right-wing reading material. Or didn't you get that DNC memo yet...

[twyn1]

LOL -- oh yes, I forgot -- my bad :)
