Not to self-promote, but would you please read my blog post on the abuse my son suffered in PUBLIC SCHOOL?

Abuse is abuse. What is frightening to me is that with compulsory education laws, parents are sometimes obligated to send their children into abusive situations. Better not to know how to read and write than do that, thanks.

It is interesting to note that in the "Lax Homeschool Laws put kids at risk" case, the child was in school and the school reported the abuse, so when the kid was pulled out to "homeschool" still nothing was done, but yet it's now a "homeschooling" problem, NOT a public school problem. Something seems amiss here.

GRRRR!!!!! I swear, these people have no idea what they're talking about. Do they know how much $$ it's gonna cost them to check up on us? Leave us alone, and let us teach our children. You'll know how well we did, when they go to the college of their choosing. :)

That's supposed to read, "That's my two cents..." :-) Wish you cold edit comments.

Shelly, I think you hit the nail right on the head. I haven't read the article, but I did listen to a commentary about it on the radio. It's just ridiculous. Talk about poor reporting. In regard to social workers being overworked, I recently had a conversation with a woman that is a social worker at a social gathering. She told me that they are assigned over SIX HUNDRED clients each! How on earth could they possibly keep up with that many cases every month?

Since the government doesn't fund my homeschool I am perfectly fine with them concentrating their
efforts on their failing system and staying away from my family. We don't need or want their help.

Thanks my two cents...
