Public school is not a protective, educational twelve year womb that spits out well rounded, capable individuals in a graduation cap at the end of its gestational period. - Sandy Walker

I am proud of myself for summing up my thoughts and responding to an astoundingly offensive anti-homeschooling article. Here is the link if you have the stomach for it. I can't even quote the most ridiculous or offensive parts but I did respond to the author of this drivel. I might not be as educated or grammatically correct as the writer is but I could not not respond.

If you homeschool you should read it. Inaccurate, ridiculous and condescending as it is I think that it might just be a case of ''BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW THAN THE DEVIL YOU DON'T.''

Ready For An Adventure???

Homeschool discount tickets are available for Adventureland Park in Des Moines, Iowa . Read my Examiner article http://http://www.examiner.com/x-5395-Omaha-Homeschooling-Issues-Examiner~y2009m4d2-Homeschool-discount-tickets-to-Adventureland-Park-available

I am considering taking the kids on an adventure to Des Moines. A theme park sounds great and Des Moines also has a water park, zoo, miniature golf and the National Balloon Museum. Sounds interesting!

Sure, it isn't a Disney vacation but with the recession maybe it is a good thing to show the kids how to have fun on a budget and stay somewhat closer to home than Florida or California.
