My wife makes 27k at her Christian school which is only about 2k less than what she made in public school. We also get 1 free tuition for 1 child and our other goes for half price. We love it.

Excellent point.

I just love these homeschooling posts. These get nastier than the 'hunting deer with dogs' threads on my hunting forums. Thanks for posting.

I can say that I am very happy that my wacko parents decided to procreate! While my childhood was a nightmare, my own family has been a joy! My children and grandchildren are a testimony to that fact that human beings can overcome adversity... even a psychotic, abusive, alcoholic mother.

Oh, don't worry, the Village will provide daycare... Just let us raise your taxes some more... (barf)

I hope you don't think I support such a notion. My comment was intended as sarcasm toward those who think parents SHOULD put their children in daycare, even though in reality most probably can't really afford it. Just wanted to make that clear in case it wasn't clear already...

For now. The elk have chronic wasting disease in a few places. Mad elk disease?

Of course" the above idiot-speak was posted by someone with the email addy "waterydiarrhea@hotmail.com" in his profile who thinks homeschooling somehow begets a murderess.

Maybe, Maybe not, but you are presenting a fine argument for syphilitic brain damage impairing the ability to perceive HUMOR !!!!!

Yeah. That's the ticket.

From the article:

Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Sam McCormack said Monday morning that a motive for the killings was sketchy. However, he said that Swanson and her husband had argued last week about Swanson’s decision to enroll the two children in school in Augusta — Gene Swanson wanted his wife to continue to home school the kids on the ranch while she wanted them to attend public school.

I don't think the article is spinning the homeschooling aspect in this case. After all, since comments made by the sheriff indicate a known (most recent?)argument between husband and wife was about homeschooling, It is fair to mention it.

...now if the wife had just submitted to her husband and continued to homeschool the kids, this might not have happened.

Oh, yes, and P.S. someone with actual Reading Ability, would have discerned from reading the thread, that the person actually implied it was Excess Pressure from an Overbearing husband that begat a murderess....quite a shame, Penicillin could have cured that, if it had been caught in time Capone....
