Oh, the
unfairness of it all! Homeschoolers have
more time to study and it's NOT FAIR to the kids who have to go to school!
BWAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA!!! Eat dirt, NEA! I hope, for your eternal embarrassment, that homeschoolers clean up at the Spelling Bee (May 29 and 30) too.

I would be really something seeing these kids do a Jaywalking with Jay Leno deal with some college graduates.

Hey Lizavetta, sounds like a lot of Jewish names in the top ten.

The real test will be to see how homeschoolers perform on the SAT relative to the rest of the country.

The Seattle P-I has a follow up story today:
Kent boy takes third in geographic bee after controversial call hurts chances Eighth-grader Erik Miller of Kent took third place yesterday in the National Geographic Bee in Washington, D.C., after a controversial call hurt his title chances.
Miller, who is home-schooled, correctly responded to a question about Indonesia as the bell rang. Moderator Alex Trebek of "Jeopardy" fame ruled that Miller answered too late. The contest was halted and the tape reviewed before the ruling was upheld.
"I could've gotten a better placement if some of the calls were in my favor," Miller said after the finals.
All the same, the 14-year-old won a $10,000 scholarship in the annual contest. Jet lag aside, Miller -- who plays the violin and piano and takes part in soccer and track -- said he's feeling good.

To put this in perspective, 1.7% of school-age children are homeschooled.
