Right, Cindy. What difference does it make if they were "home schooled" or not?

Kara's poor parents did everything "by the book" after she stayed out all night. Mine would have whipped the hell out of me.

"David Ludwig and Kara Borden were obsessed with each other, a friend said today."

"The 18-year-old told friends he was sneaking into his 14-year-old girlfriend’s house in the middle of the night to see her."

My kids went to public school and I also home schooled. My grandkids now go to a private school. All three are workable with parent/family involvement and all three will fail without it. The concern here of emphasizing home school , IMO, is summed up by what you can see on TV tonight though. There was some woman on FOX, from a major university that was talking about there had to have been 'signs" that would have been evident as early as 5. Maybe so. O'Reilly eagerly backed her up with that, you have to bring in people from the outside to see and deal with it. What usually follows here is that if a kid had been in public school, then problems might have been picked up, before a blow up. Maybe, but the public school system doesn't have a perfect record on this either. I do not "hate" public schools but it's not what works for my family. A lot of really good kids come out of them but there are people that really "hate" the ideal of home schooling though because they have no control and will use this to their advantage to try to regulate or shut it down. That is what concerns me.
