I just loved the title of this news article from the Boise Weekly. I get the feeling that the author, , is not quite a fan. The article included this cartoon by Mike Flinn which seems a bit derogatory.
Keep 'Em Home
Otter and Idaho's entrenched homeschooling movement
Here are a few excerpts:
But teachers still ponder the state's home-schooled kids.
Sherri Wood of the Idaho Education Association, the state's largest teachers' union, said her organization does not oppose homeschooling per se, but she questions the ability of all parents to take over a child's education. "We have found that homeschool parents are not necessarily taking on the responsibility that they should take on as educators," Wood said.
Also, Wood said, kids who aren't in school are missing out on the socializing effects a public school offers kids.
Ahh, the dreaded S work again.
