If you missed it the first time around, you’ve got a second chance.
The, “Stupid in America” Documentary by 20/20's John Stossel will be re-run on September 1, 2006. Check your paper, TV Guide, or tvguide.com/listings for your time and channel.
When it's over and you want to bring your children home but think, “I can’t do THAT.” that’s a lie. Email me, I’d be happy to direct you to enough resources to get you started. Have your children already started in ‘school’ (public, private, co-op, whatever) and it’s too late to pull them? That’s a lie too. All your friends’ children are there and they’d look at you weird if you pulled your children? Too bad. Are you packing a not-that-great public school education yourself? Can’t teach algebra, physics, or thermal dynamics? So what. Bring your children home. Stop listening to the NEA. Stop listening to the world. Start listening to your heart.
And if you’re still terrified or don’t know where to start, let me know. I don’t have all the answers, but I’ve got great resources, it’s not as hard as you think, and I know you’re children need to be raised by you.

Who’s just pushy and passionate, and really not trying to run your life.

Sep. 3, 2006 - I'm convinced!
You know what is HILARIOUS? I watched WifeSwap, and started noticing how different the children were and how close the families were (even if they were otherwise wierd). This sparked the "homeschool" thought in my head. I started homeschooling because of WifeSwap! But the kicker is, I can't stand the show now. Either the homeschooling families on there are "selling out" (they get paid 20k - if I remember right) and faking the whole "wierdness" thing or there are parents out there that don't have a clue!
I hope you'll be able to convince someone to homeschool, it's just like spreading the Gospel- you have to convince them it's Good News!
Blessings to you
