How appalling is that????? Why on earth do people pick such horrific,

isolated events in an attempt to create negative stereotypes? Don't they have

something better to report on? Like maybe Dr. Ponseti and his treatment, for

instance? Geez, I am so disgusted by that article that it makes me sick. That

reporter needs to get a life and try reporting on some of the sorry public

school systems...especially the ones here in NC. Maybe if the public schools

were

better then 850,000 people wouldn't feel the need to homeschool. Not to

mention if he researched, he would probably find that a greater % of publicly

educated children were abused than homeschool kids. I doubt that most parents

stay

home and devote thier life to thier children's future just to beat and

neglect them.

Anyhow, thanks for sharing.
