You should read your articles before you post and comment on them.I went to publik skul, kant reed.
This mother had been homeschooling these children for years and had enough. Just like Andrea Yates.

Starting pay for teacher in my county, considering hours worked and benefits is equivalent to 50 bucks an hour.
Not too shabby.

If they had fought over whether to make home-made pizza or order from the local pizza parlor, would THAT have been an issue? (sorry, only example I can think of)... I don't see why their argument over method of schooling is the issue here. There is obviously much more involved here..

I guess we just flat out suck in NC because our teachers don't make jacksh*t
To: Pete
The kids were enrolled in public school like mom wanted. Why did she shoot them?Pure speculation on my part but I believe that the father had insisted that they go back to homeschooling. She oughta shot him instead.
I'll have more details once I can call my buds over at the L&C county sheriff's office later.
To: TxBec
Actually, this was a *homeschool-minded DAD* and a *PUBLIC-SCHOOL-minded* mom.This was not a happy home. Why would she shoot the children if her argument was with the husband? Sounds like she wanted her children out of her life, they were inconvenient and causing problems between her and her man.
I've been a homeschooling mom since 1990 and in most of the homeschooling families I know it is the mother who is pro-homeschooling and the father who worries about it.

It's just another woman crazy enough to murder her children. The 'whys' shouldn't even come into play here.
But of course, they will.

while i am a huge advocate of homeschooling, i am self-aware enough to know that i could not possibly do it without doing, at the very least, emotional harm to my kids. No one should be FORCED to homeschool their children, whether by a spouse or someone else's opinion on the matter. If he was so hot-fired interested in homeschooling them, why wasn't HE the one doing it? While homeschooling may be the BEST choice, it is dependent on a parent that is emotionally and intellectually capable of doing it.

He added to the title and got it wrong.These children had been homeschooled for years and attended public school for one week. The woman was being forced to resume homeschooling and didn't want to.
To: Diva
most of the homeschooling families I know it is the mother who is pro-homeschooling and the father who worries about it. Same here. That's why I never understood the stereotype that homeschoolers are oppressed women under their husbands' thumbs. I don't know one homeschooling mom who doesn't want to be a homeschooler. In most cases, we were the ones pushing for it, while our husbands had some serious questions.
To: Tired of Taxes
Did I misunderstand something, did she not get what she wanted?
Gene Swanson wanted his wife to continue to home school the kids on the ranch while she wanted them to attend public school. The children attended their first classes at school in Augusta last week.

To: Intimidator
In our district, if a teacher has a master's degree and teaches for 10 years, then he/she will make 90K (now; 10 years from now it will be much higher). My husband, with a Ph.D., has taught in a local college for over 20 years and will never make that much. Go figure!
