RE: What Does the Turpin Family Tragedy Mean for Homeschooling Families?
Yep, this is not a homeschooling issue really.. But rather about crazy people doing this to their kids. Maybe there should be some type of checkups on the families who choose to homeschool their children? Just to check if something like this do not happen in the future.
It is sad to read about these things happening to children. Unfortunately, it is probably not the first case of such a thing happening. But, homeschooling has nothing to do with this. This all has to do with crazy people doing crazy thing to their children.
There does not need to be a check on homeschool families to ensure we don't do this to our kids in the future. Most families homeschool in order to keep their kids from being bullied, bored or worse at school. They are loving families who want to be with their kids. I don't know of a single family who homeschools who doesn't like their children. Mine drive me insane some times, but I think they're the coolest kids out there. ;) This family...whatever they did or did not do...is being used by mainstream media to prove a point. The government wants more regulations, fewer people homeschooling and more money put into schools for childrens' attendance. If this family is really guilty of this, they are sick, but it has nothing to do with them homeschooling. The "facts" of this case don't line up.
