Homeschool graduate Shanna Post-Maher has been appointed Cadet Chief Engineer of Massachusetts Maritime Academy class of 2003. She is the first female, first homeschooler, and first dual-major cadet to be awarded the honor by the college.

Shanna received four-year scholarships from the National Rifle Association and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, by whom she was named a Tsongas Scholar in recognition of her academic achievements.

Receiving her engineering degree in 2003, Shanna will continue post-graduate studies, and receive a degree in Marine Transportation in 2004.

No affirmative action here; earned by merit.

Homeshoolers are bustin' barriers everywhere, and I wanted to help spread the good news.

Workin' on big engines and steering giant ships....

This is, I think, true woman's liberation.

A typical homeschooler!
Congratulations to Shanna for all her hard work.

Wow. Scholarships from the National Rifle Association AND the state of Massachusetts. Now there's some cognitive dissonance!

[Prodigal Daughter]

That is great! (Now if she's really smart, she'll move away from People's Republic of Massachusetts the first chance she gets).

All right Shanna!! I'm going to a Conference for Homeschool Support Group Leaders in a couple of weeks here in MA. I'll ask around to see if any of the folks know the family.

Kudos from a former home school kid...

"Wow. Scholarships from the National Rifle Association AND the state of Massachusetts. Now there's some cognitive dissonance!"

My thought EXACTLY on seeing this. I would have thought those were mutually exclusive categories.

Ah, yes, but is she properly "socialized?" *Ducking*

Congratulations, Shanna from a homeschooling family!

Homeschool bump

Bump!!

Family values. Homeschooling can be the foundation on which a whole lifetime of achievement is built. I don't believe that public school can hold a candle to it, if the homeschooling is handled right.

Ah, yes, but is she properly "socialized?" *Ducking*

No, of course not, she can't possibly be socialized until she's gulped a few ecstasies, toked a few joints, acquired a venereal disease and had a couple of abortions like our public high schools students do.

[Alas]

One more good reason to HOMESCHOOL!

I was just informed that we have to prove that we are homeschooling to take the state test this year. I was stunned when I was informed of this little detail. How are we to prove it you ask? Either a copy of our HSLDA card or a copy of our curriculum receipt.

It appears that the state is upset that the home schoolers are trouncing their public school darlings in their own test. They believe that we are somehow cheating on their test.

I love it! This is like proving to Hitler that you are Jewish.
