University of MN basketball guard: Off Topic

The Minnesota Daily interviewed University of MN’s Junior basketball guard, Brittany McCoy.

She was homeschooled until high school and talks a bit about her parents’ decision to homeschool. Many homeschoolers can relate to the periodic checking in of the educational choice.

OFF TOPIC with Brittany McCoy 12/6/2008

BM: Well it’s kind of a funny story, it was my mom’s idea to home-school us. I’m the oldest of six kids, and my mom got her teaching degree in school, so she wanted to home-school me, and my dad kind of was unsure…

MH: So you were kind of a guinea pig?

Keep reading at the site, as her mother was persistent.
