The homeschooling trend is a good one, for the most part. Mike Farris deserves to be commended for forming an organization to support good parents who don't think that their children are suited to the public schools.
It's really crazy that homeschooling has not gotten more attention from the media. over a million parents now homeschool and millions more are interested in learning about it. I think the problem is that the media(even conservative media) is centered in New York City and Wash DC. They really don't understand religious or heartland americans.
