I haven't heard of any axe-murdering homeschool moms up here, but I understand that that kid-drowning homeschool mom in Texas is getting a new trial.
I was thinking about that case the other day. The press played up the homeschool angle so much, yet only one of the kids was even old enough for school. Plus, it all happened in the summer when school wouldn't have been in session. Homeschooling had nothing to do with it, but that never stopped the press from crying "homeschooling." Their mother was a psychotic killer, and she should be pleading for death.
Oh, and Andrea Yates wasn't a long term 'homeschooling mom'. She only had one child who was school aged. Her problems began LONG before she ever started homeschooling her oldest.
