Yes but they began classes in town last week.

If a kid began homeschool instead of public last week he would be considered a homeschooler,wouldn't he?

Whast can you expect from an orginization that went from Zero Tolerance on Sexual Harassment, to One Free Grope, and a wink and a nod at an Chief Executive having a Sexual Relationship with an intern 30 years his Junior...They have no credibility....

Actually, this was a *homeschool-minded DAD* and a *PUBLIC-SCHOOL-minded* mom.

[MrB]

NOW blames this whole thing on the husband

Obviously, home schooling is just another way to oppress and enslave women. Unable to achieve fulfillment by letting someone else raise her children, what other choice did she have?

Second prize. Stormhands thought she should have shot her husband.

Isn't it ? Teachers make roughly 50 Grand a year, plus benefits to work 180 days over a 9 moth period, with summers off, two weeks at Christmas, and Easter, a bucketload of Half days, and various conferences....Yet, a homescholl mom recieves no salaries, earns no money toward Social Security and/or Retirement, and Homeschool Teachers students VASTLY outperform Publik Skool Teachers Students....

Swanson’s husband, Gene, was sleeping in a camp trailer outside the residence when the shootings occurred

Dang this dude was still in the doghouse after a week. Maybe she should have shot him instead.

You're wrong- the article clearly states that the kids had just started their first week in public school. So, she was not a home shool mom anymore.

G'morning. I'm running back and forth between work, having to wake the kids up with buckets of cold water (I'm kidding, but it's tempting) and FR :)

And just when I thought the method of choice for the pro-public school mom was baking them in cars.

You should read your articles before you post and comment on them.

You hit the nail on the head.

Public school mom-murderer.

Why let them spin the facts?

What school district is this in? Wow! My wife just went from public school to private Christian school(loves it by the way) and she was only making around 30k in one of the highest paying school counties in NC(Wake).

[TxBec]

oh yeah. I forgot

*ping*

what makes you think he didn't? i see no reason to get snotty with him.

[xsmommy]

No. VA public school teachers avg $50k per year.

I think, in this case, the homeschooling issue was important, whereas, in other cases, the method of schooling was not an issue.

Wouldn't it have been easier if she'd just shot him?

Or better yet, herself.

Another Homeschool mom murders her children. Of course this one happened in Montana where wacko is a way of life

Actually, the kids were enrolled in public school so I guess your comment should read, "Another public school mom murders her children."

Having said that, there must be more to this story. The kids were enrolled in public school like mom wanted. Why did she shoot them?

Let's not bring the Catholic church into this now!.
