ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

Don’t know how many asians there are at that school, but they could start a group academy and let the parents teach the subjects they can.

This thread looks like an older story. Here's an update on this story:

The Asian students filed a civil rights lawsuit against the school district.

The school had a retired judge do a full report. The full report can be read here, with the details beginning on page 8: http://aaunited.org/downloads/sphs/2010/201002_giles_report.pdf Most of the attackers were black, although some were Cambodian and some were white. One particularly violent attacker in the middle of it all was a Cambodian female. OTOH, most of the victims that day were Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants who were ESOL students.

Some people are saying the report is designed to protect the school staff and deflect a lawsuit. Probably so. But, the Asian organization that filed the suit has a motive to slant the story in its direction, too. Neither is denying a racial element to the story, but the report does give more info into the story.

(I'm SO GLAD we moved out of Philly and decided to homeschool!)
