It's something you see a lot with (child) musicians, too.
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....
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.
I have examined this utterance over and over. It still makes no sense to me.
It was sort of a joke. I really meant

Ah! Science -vs-

It is all in the italics.
L&O just opened with a kid doing krav. Cool!
Oh, and then kids getting shot. Not quite as cool.
But not the krav girl.

Cool and L&O ... They speak not. Neither do they converse.
Gus, why do you hate everything good?
Since I am the last authority in Natter I proclaim this following ...
ita wishes she was as cute as me.
Daisy Jane, I read that article last week. I know someone in TX that is an Unschooler. I think the article was pretty open minded about the whole thing but I'd be freaking out if I ran into a 14 year old that couldn't read.
Apparently, the rules are so loose in Texas that just about anything goes in regard to homeschooling. Which I guess is fine, if you're actually going to teach your kids something. But that leaves it so open that people could just set their kids loose and not teach them anything and that would be legal, too. Which is scary.
