Great homeschooling story on CBS

September 14th, 2008 by COD

Somebody at CBS will probably get fired for this story. Not only is it a very fair and positive 9 minute look at homeschooling, but nobody from HSLDA was consulted or interviewed. The primary family in the story is black, the other family they talk to is upper middle class (at least) in Chicago. They couldn’t have gotten farther from the fundie homeschooler stereotype if they tried.

    Thanks for posting. I friend just called me and said she saw this clip on TV. We are still the “mysterious” home schoolers in our circle :) , and this clip hits on many of the reasons we home school.

    This is great. Finally someone does a decent post on homeschooling.

    Since this is in your neck of the woods I thought you might be interested in this.

    The zoning officials in Arlington and Fairfax Counties have cited AFH volunteers for keeping foster dogs in their homes. The citations do not claim that there are too many dogs, or that the volunteers don’t have a right to keep dogs – repeat – there is no violation regarding too many dogs or a lack of care – we have NOT done anything wrong. The claim is that, since the dogs are associated with a rescue group, they are considered to be “for commercial purposes”. Commercial uses are prohibited in residential districts
