HomeSchoolBuzz's post today links to a letter to the editor by a Derek Granquist, a young man who was homeschooled. Derek writes about the academic benefits of homeschooling and addresses the classic question of socialization. Nicely done.
EducationNews.org references an article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press about a charter school which is going to have a Mandarin Chinese immersion program. We've mentioned before recent increased focus to teach American children Chinese, here and here. On one hand I think it is cool that more students are learning Chinese. On the other hand I wish public schools would do a better job of teaching English.
