Third, homeschoolers have been ruling the academic "bees" for some time now. Year after year, homeschoolers have been in the top placements for the Geography Bee, Spelling Bee and the USA Math Olympiad.

Public educators have grumbled against homeschoolers for winning saying that they spend too much of their time studying for the tests and that it's not fair and unhealthy for the kids! Can you believe their twisted logic?

The organizers of the National Geographic Bee have set up some new "guidelines" that are obviously designed to make it much more difficult for homeschoolers to paticipate in the Bee next year. The Scripps Spelling bee is considering doing something similar...it's very sad that homeschoolers are being forced out of the Bees, and I wonder if some kind of NEA pressure is behind these new "rules"

Their logic is twisted and bogus. You can't cram for a spelling bee or the Math Olympiad, the field of study is too broad. The real truth is that the homeschool kids are getting a better education and the public school socialists hate it, they can't offer adequate explanations, and so all they have to offer is doubletalk and BS.
