I have a 16 year old boy who attracts girls like poo attracts flys. I have a 19 year old daughter who went to Baptist schools for a large part of her life. Fortunately my daughter is a good girl. My boy attracts girls from all over the world.
One time a couple of years ago my boy asked me where Serbia was. I told him and asked why. He said he was texting back and forth with a girl there.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
