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"

I bet they are. It must be embarrassing for the NEA to have so many homeschoolers win these bees.

I emailed you privately on this. Please let us know where you got this information so we can pass it on.
