I find the lack of sportsmanship displayed by Ivy Gate appalling. Comments like this are uncalled for.
Apparently once Ivy Gate realized they didn't have a prayer of winning they decided to endorse Michael Berube, but was it really necessary to bash homeschoolers as part of the endorsement? Why couldn't they state why they enjoyed Berube's blog or why they thought it deserved to win?
I voted for Spunky Homeschool because I enjoyed her post. While I didn't always agree with her views I found her blog informative and entertaining, if you did too go vote for her. Polls close at 11:59PM tonight.
- Rev. Jesse Jackson Going To Bat For Michael Vick
The Rev. Jesse Jackson is going to bat for disgraced NFL quarterback Michael Vick, and he wants to enlighten us with a historical lesson in the process. In a column written last week by Bill Rhoden of The New York Times, Jackson actually compared Vick’s...
- 8 Month Old Baby Blogger In The Running For New Blog In Those Other Hsba, After Big Sister Is Disqualified
Wow, I always knew homeschoolers were superior intellectually, but this homeschooling family exceeds all expectations. Their 8 month old baby has her own blog. From Get In, Hang On Well, I have found a baby, less than a year old, that tops the muscle...
- Peacefully Homeschooling Amid Diversity
If The Homeschool Blog Awards haven't achieved anything else the acrimony caused by 'the rules' have proved how diverse a bunch we are. It's too bad that many of us are unable to recognize the validity of homeschool bloggers who hold differing...
- I Am Mortified, Alasandra Is Rated R
It all started with the Homeschool Blog Awards, apparently one group of homeschoolers wanted to prevent another group of homeschoolers from being nominated (not very nice if you ask me, but then again no one did). You can read all about it at Doc's...
- Spring 2007 Alasandra Blog Awards
One of the things I love about blog awards, is discovering new blogs, so I have decided to create my own blog awards, comprised of blogs I subscribe to or check often, these are not necessarily homeschooling blogs. Winners may place the Alasandra Butterfly...

Sportsmanship

Vote! And don't stop voting until you see Michael Berube's willowy concession speech atop his blog! Although: Whatever happens with Berube, we'll bite the suicide capsule before we let the homeschoolers take the trophy.

To quote a role model: I was wack. Today we leave those posts behind as The Sincerity That Shall Not Be Named, and fully endorse Prof. Michael Berube for Best Educational Blog 2006. He's neck-and-neck with SpunkyHomeSchool -- a blog that's actually defunct but has rabid acolytes with adept at getting out the vote. Berube seems like a funny guy (and half of us are alums of the same hockey team), but mainly we just want to see the tension play out between the academy and the homeschooling army.Michael Berube isn't much better with his comments
Michael Bérubé says:I wonder why he feels it's so important to crush homeschoolers?
But of course! I understood this post to be upping the banter ante, and a fine job it does, too. Besides, the important thing is that IvyGate and I crush the homeschoolers. December 9, 2006 11:31 AM
