Is he really a homeschooler?
Is a teen who left the public school system because of bullying really a homeschooler? Greg thinks so another 14-year old home schooled boy was arrested in a Philadelphia area suburb, having been found in possession of an arsenal of weapons and explosives, apparently part of a plot to exact revenge from his former (public school) classmates.
In my opinion he should have been referred to as a former public school student, that would have certainly been more honest as the majority of his school age life was spent in the public school system. The other boy Greg referrers to in his post was never homeschooled, so why is the post entitled Latest Homeschool News? Your guess is as good as mine. As for cmf's comment. the real cmf // Oct 14, 2007 at 7:59 pm
the word “enabling” comes to mind…did you notice that the boys obesity mirrors the mothers obesity? Here is another one that fits my thesis of “homeschooling as a way to hide family dysfunction ”.
Am I suppose to believe the boy wasn't overweight the whole time he was in public school? My guess is the teens obesity is why his fellow public school classmates bullied him. I have noticed plenty of public school students who are obese, does CMF consider their familes dysfunctional?
