Stay-at-home students

An article in The Orange County Register on Monday provides a positive view of three kinds of homelearning. The piece, titled"Stay-at-home students" begins with,

"The thing about home-schoolers is it's almost impossible to find them at home.

They're at class. They're at Barnes & Noble. They're at the library. The beach. Band practice.

This, of course, flies in the face of the conventional thinking about home-schoolers, where the inside joke among them is that their children are pasty recluses who never feel the warmth of the sun."

You do have to register to read the entire article, which is free, but if you don't want to read the whole thing, you can e-mail me and I'll forward it to you.
