“you’ll be wantin’ the señorita pistols as well?”

It's an old video, but way too long for me to convert into a gif.

At the end, he pulls out a full size shotgun.

We used to call them “bookbags”. I guess kids don’t need schoolbooks anymore.

“School safety should be simple.”

Sure, just turn it into a prison.

Remember when you were a kid and you would hollow out a book for a place to hide your secret stash? When I was a kid, we carried home stacks of books for homework, and apparently only the military had backpacks at that time. We managed.

I never owned a back pack. That’s what lockers are for. The books I did take home (rarely) I CARRIED! Yes I just CARRIED them. What a novel idea!

Sometimes I would carry a girls books for her.

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.

When I was in school, you’d be considered a dorky nerd if you had a backpack and probably beat-up by the school bully...

About 56% black population in the city, I expect the school system is even higher.

Blacks need to fix their culture. There, I said it.

This is true. When you look at recent school shooters, they literally walked in. While a locked door is not a guarantee 100%, it’s way better than the “it could never happen here” mentality.

My kids have had several hours of homework since kindergarten.

Books come home every night.
