Just a round up of a few links that you should be reading this week. It seems to be a busy week in the news for homeschoolers, especially with the top stories in my list.
- This is not a homeschooling issue A woman who was raised in an abusive home grows to become a mother who abuses her children as well. Big surprise, right? Don’t we already know that often abuse is a cycle? And yet, still, homeschooling is to be blamed for the death of the 4 year old boy. Doc points out who is really to blame here.
- Teen tied to tree overnight dies Two parents tied their teen son to a tree during 100*F temperatures and left him there. Twice. Between the heat, humidity, and smoke from a local wild fire the boy died. Gross negligence? Nope, according to some comments it was homeschooling
- Homeschool stereotypes and how we don’t fit into them… Is anyone up for a homeschool mixer? A few questions to let other homeschoolers know more about you and to get to know them as well.
- Carnival of Homeschooling is up at Apollos Academy. This week’s theme is the movies so grab some popcorn and a coke and enjoy the show.
- Evolution and Homeschooling Is there a Christian homeschooling curriculum that teaches evolution? Or at least does not teach Young Earth Creation as the only science? Surely they exist somewhere.
- Contemplating “Home School Opportunities Make Education Sound Act of 2008″ A Bill was recently introduced to give tax deductions to homeschooling families. Is the tax deduction worth possibly opening the door to increased legislating?
