Wintertime - given that the Sandy Hook mass murderer was home schooled and the victims were public school children, perhaps using the massacre for a diatribe about public school security and a “Another Reason to Homeschool” ping is in poor taste...

Dear Fletcher J,

Your post is dishonest in its failure to provide context.

Adam Lanza WAS homeschooled. Apparently for 11th and 12th grade. From Kindergarten through 10th grade, as far as I can determine, he attended public and private elementary schools and public high school.

And after being homeschooled for two years, he then attended a public university.

It seems that two years of homeschooling were insufficient to undo the damage of 11 years of traditional schooling, and a couple of dozen people paid the price for that damage.

Bad taste or good taste should we be treating children like prisoners?

Good taste or bad taste is it evil to treat children,whose only crime was to be born, like state prisoners?

Good taste or bad taste what are the consequences to our continuing freedom if we have a nation of voters who are indoctrinated to be comfortable with being a state prisoner?

Good taste or bad taste. many in the media are calling for increasing the prison-like conditions that our children endure.

Good taste or bad taste, if we don't address these issues before they become hardened in reinforced concrete government indoctrination camp policies, we deserve what we get (even though the kids don't).

Adam Lanza, who was 20, is believed by investigators to have attended Sandy Hook Elementary, the site of his massacre on Friday, before being removed and partially home-schooled by his mother.

Trying to paint him as a homeschooler is not entirely accurate either.Looks like his homeschool time was after having attended public school for quite some time.

I know of kids who have been removed from public school as older students because of behavior problems and have had to be homeschooled if their parents wanted them to have an education.

It's disingenuous to portray them as homescooled, implying that it was done for their whole lives, and that that is the reason they went off the deep end.

A child who was homeschooled after having been removed from public school because of behavior problems had the problems before being homeschooled, not because of being homeschooled.
