another 14-year old home schooled boy was arrested in a Philadelphia area suburb, having been found in possession of an arsenal of weapons and explosives, apparently part of a plot to exact revenge from his former (public school) classmates.
In my opinion he should have been referred to as a former public school student, that would have certainly been more honest as the majority of his school age life was spent in the public school system. The other boy Greg referrers to in his post was never homeschooled, so why is the post entitled Latest Homeschool News? Your guess is as good as mine. As for cmf's comment.

the word “enabling” comes to mind…did you notice that the boys obesity mirrors the mothers obesity? Here is another one that fits my thesis of “homeschooling as a way to hide family dysfunction ”.
Am I suppose to believe the boy wasn't overweight the whole time he was in public school? My guess is the teens obesity is why his fellow public school classmates bullied him. I have noticed plenty of public school students who are obese, does CMF consider their familes dysfunctional?

Just the kind of willful, distortions in service of a whacked-out personal agenda, to give real science and real academics a bad name.
Rolfe explained a sensible philosophy today at his own blog:
"Usually I use a very simple strategy to avoid these problems: stay away. If you have no chance of changing the outcome, why add your credibility to the con-game? If I want to work to make the world a better place, I’m better off putting my energy somewhere else."
So -- was Lee Harvey Oswald really born in New Orleans, Alasandra? What say we don't blame the Cajuns for how he turned out? :)
He spent most of his life in Texas. His story is very sad.
Robert Oswald, died two months before his son was born. At the age of three his mother, Marguerite Oswald, sent him to live in the Bethleham Children's Home.
When she remarried she got him out of the children's home and they moved to Texas, with her new husband. The marriage didn't work out but they stayed in Texas.
So I see how you could wind up with a troubled young man with abandonment issues and possibly easy to manipulate.
Yes. Institutionalizing a young child probably DOES feel like abandonment to the child, hmmm, I wonder if that would explain a lot about the harmful school-induced pathologies we see in kids these days . . .
Especially as they want them younger and younger.
