I thought I read that the winner was homeschooled but I guess not. However, the runner-up was homeschooled and the winner was in private school. Last year the winner was homeschooled. Does that say something for the public school system? Yo, NEA, for all your liberal touchy feely programs and public monies invested, you're not producing any winners!

But the winner of last week's national geography bee IS homeschooled.

Doth mine eyes deceive me, or is there a trend here?

I'm sure the NEA is opposed to these spelling bee's because "not everyone can win" and that they lower the "self-esteem" of the non-winners.
