Eclectic Amateur

… to find that the NEA thinks homeschooling is awful.

I especially love this part:

Instruction should be by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state education licensure agency, and a curriculum approved by the state department of education should be used.

In other words, go ahead and educate your children at home, but you have to do it our way.

I guess they’re just sore because it’s now become news when it’s not a homeschooler that wins the National Spelling Bee. (Congratulations to Pratyush Buddiga on that accomplishment.)

Ah, well. The only thing more I can think to say to this kind of nonsense is to quote my son David: “Na na na na boo-boo!” Will not! So there! Can’t make me!
