New Co-op has openings

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:25:00 -0500

You are invited to check out a new co-op in the Otsego/Elk River area,
Kingdom Explorers Homeschool Co-op.

This group was founded on August 21, 2007. This is a self-formed group
of homeschool families in the Northwest Metro area committed to
providing a christian-based education for their children. The group
will share their time, talent, and treasure to provide meaningful
group opportunities for our children to learn on a regularly scheduled
basis.

We are open to families with children ages in 3rd grade and younger.
We will meet the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month in Elk River at the
Trott Brook Farm building from 9-12am. The 1st & 3rd Wednesday will be
optional gym & field trip days. Our focus this year will be the United
States of America. Within this theme we will be incorporating art,
music, history and Bible studies.

If you would like to have more information on this group please contact:
Natalie Farrell: 763.441.0446

blatant slam against homeschooling

Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:03:00 -0500

Anyone see the Aug 16 episode of Law & Order:SVU?

Here's my letter to NBC:

I've just watched the episode with the psychotic homeschool mom. Was this an intentional attack on homeschooling, or did you just not do any research? I realize some unbalanced people choose homeschooling as a cover for control and isolation, but this episode presented such as the norm for homeschoolers. As such, it was not only misleading and demeaning, but shows poor quality research on the part of the shows writers.

If gays, or blacks, or vegetarians, or muslims were portrayed in such a stereotypical, insulting way, they episode would have never made it past your censors. Why this?

I'm interested in your response. (By the way, not all homeschoolers are Christians, or religious, as you imply.
