Homeschoolers may be no safer in their homes than other children

Just to clarify it. No, Bob, not in all situations. It depends on state regulations. For instance, in Michigan (which is considered, currently, as the friendliest state in the US for home schoolers) we don't even have to notify the school system that we ARE home schooling. However, if the FIA (Family Independence Agency) ever had reason to investigate, you would have to prove that you were educating your children in all of the age appropriate curriculum as mandated by the state department of education. And if you ever re-enroll your child in public or private education, the school has the right to test your child for grade level experience.

Most accidents occur in the home

That's why we're thinking of moving.

Another frightening look at homeschooling here.

Thanks for the information. I assumed it varied between states but wasn't sure what the minimums might be.

The New York Times paid a reporter for many months who lied about where he was reporting from, as well as lying about other details of his reporting.

Therefore, newspaper journalism should be outlawed.

The logic is similar to what this idiot is selling. Sheesh.

This is shameless overreaching. The writer should have his intellectual butt kicked.
