how you doing?

Well, that wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but I'm happy to hear it. I'm well, thanks.

I guess I was a little more concerned about the middle and high school kids who want to kill their classmates.

It's a little hard to comprehend for me.

Despite the charges that the mother "helped," I'm not sure what home schooling has to do with this story.

I wonder what kind of curriculum the mother was using to homeschool her kid. What was she thinking?!

This world is getting more sicker and sicker!

For one, why was he being home schooled instead of being in regular school with other students is a question.

Could he not ghet along with his classmates, was he a trouble maker, or did his parents think that homeschooling was better.

What about the social aspects of homeschooling...was he being teased by other kids because of it, was he bullied...or did he suffer some mental problems that kept him from being around other kids....

That is what homeschooling may have to do with this story.

Maybe.

Some parents just don't feel good about our education system.

Some of our friends have home schooled their children with good success. Most went on to college and did very well.

Our kids went to public schools. Of the two who went on to college, one graduated with a 3.965 and the other with a 4.0, so I'm not one to take public education to task, but some parents just aren't comfortable with it for reasons not only academic, but social and beyond.

He was a fat kid that was getting picked on and the school didn't do anything about it.
