Sorry, tommy. For some reason, nexis only has issues of Science through 2004. Nothing more current. Bastids.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I know parents of children with learning issues that home school because it serves the child's needs best. It works better for some super brainiacs that need more challenges and it works for children with special needs if their parents have the skill to do it.
It's something you see a lot with (child) musicians, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Capitalism is conspiring to keep me from science.
Thanks for trying....

Always Anti-fascist!
It's bloody harsh, then. But that's not news. I won't shop in one, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The spelling bee champion kids are usually homeschooled, aren't they? So they can really focus on the spelling.
Ditto for musical prodigees. Most of the kids in the piano documentary I worked on were home-schooled.
[ooh, musical x-post!]

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I have examined this utterance over and over. It still makes no sense to me.

Like Prince.
OK, I have no idea if Prince was home schooled. But it reminds me of my Prince story....
So WGN morning news was doing some '80s trivia thing. As part of it, they got a stagehand or camera man or something to answer some trivia questions. He got the first two correct. The third question was, "Name Prince's first number one single."
So the guy says, "Um, 'Soft and Wet'?" At which point the female anchor (Robin Baumgarten) totally lost it - she could not stop laughing, so she covered her face with a newspaper and then after a bit she got up and walked away from the desk. It took about a minute for things to settle down....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So what are the religious reasons for home schooling? Is it just to keep the kids out of the secular cultural environment? They don't want their kids learning about evolution? They want their kids to have a religious education (Biblical history, etc)?
I know our long lost Amy Parker homeschooled her son for the opposite reason -- she felt Salt Lake City schools were basically religious. Her munchkin was in a private school but then it started to have problems so she finished him off herself.

It was sort of a joke. I really meant Science magazine....
