Have you heard about this? A 5 year-old kindergartener known to suffer from ADD and Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism, was kicked out of his classroom… after his teacher — his “TEACHER!“— asked his 16 classmates to tell him what they don’t like about him, then vote whether or not to let him rejoin [...] May 29th, 2008 | Tags: children, homeschool | Category: Education, Rant, Social Commentary, children | One comment

Yesterday, I posted the story of the family who’s child protection case has triggered a knee-jerk reaction by an Appellate Court Judge who has deemed Homeschooling not to be a “constitutional right of parents”. I also promised I would return with more information, especially if you want to help. Well, the HSLDA has posted a [...] March 7th, 2008 | Tags: Family, homeschool | Category: Education, Family, SciTech, Social Commentary, homeschool | Leave a comment

I spent the 5th of November (“Remember, remember, the fifth of November…“) thinking about one thing only: never again will a black male, [...]
