Worst Headline of the Week

By

In a week when homeschoolers in New Hampshire have successfully worked against an attempt to increase regulations we find this headline:

The Importance Of A Home School Inspection
(found on the Home School News Blog)

The summary:

Ultimately, a home school inspection is for the good of the child. If you keep that in mind, it is less of an inconvenience and more of a necessary component of home schooling. Remember that home schooling is a responsibility and should be treated as such. A symbiotic relationship between you and the school district will only benefit your child and foster a greater educational experience.

You can look at this site, see what is going on there, and reasonably discount the article and the seriousness of the site. Yet, it is out there adding to the misunderstanding of homeschooling.

    That site looks like a link farm. And it reads like an elaborate hoax. Yuck.

  • Intrinsic Motivations for Learning
    “As homeschoolers we need to find ways to reach out to teachers and parents who don’t want to see childrens’ 12 years of compulsory schooling reduced to skills training for big business. Nurturing the human capacity to learn through love and intrinsic motivation is as important to life — to me, more important — as ‘learning for earning.’ Art, religion, music […]
