First Wapakoneta Superintendent Keith Horner says.
“I’m not against school choice at all".then he goes on to point out all the problems homeschoolers create for public school officials. Next we hear from Baker
Aside from academics, there are many skills learned through a traditional education that go beyond the curriculum, district officials say. “Dealing with bullies, making friends, and learning to be held accountable — those are all abilities students develop by interacting with their peers at school,” Baker said. “It’s being able to cope in the real world.”
I wonder where Baker, got his idiotic idea that homeschoolers don't learn to deal with bullies (I guess homeschoolers never play with public school students after school, and Baker has apparently never heard of the neighborhood bully.), that homeschoolers don't have any friends ( I wonder who my kids spend all their time IM and talking to on the phone, I could have sworn it was their friends, but according to Baker homeschoolers don't have friends.), and that homeschoolers parents never hold them accountable (what BS). And of course the same idiotic statement we heard on Dr. Phil that homeschoolers won't be able to cope in the "real" world. Excuse me but homeschoolers live in the real world just like everyone else. Our children are perfectly capable of coping with LIFE!
For those of you who think we need a constitutional amendment to protect our homeschooling rights check out the post at HE&OS by Daryl Cobranchi entitled I WAS WRONG
Evidently, there is no requirement that editorial writers cannot be brain dead. As evidence, I submit this WND piece on why we need a constitutional amendment for homeschooling rights.
