My critique of Friedman’s homeschooling statement

After posting some quotes from Milton Friedman (yes, I can spell his name), I began thinking more about his statement on homeschooling. From what I can tell, the statement was made more in jest, so it is difficult to ascertain how much it actually expresses his opinion of homeschooling. To review:
QUESTION: Dr. Friedman, [...]

Sandmonkey quits…

What?! I am so glad I live in the US. For those of you who don’t know, Sandmonkey is an Egyptian blogger, blogging for what most of us take for granted: freedom.
One of the chief reasons is the fact that there has been too much heat around me lately. I no longer [...]

Homeschool Community

Wow. Truth Laid Bear appears to have finally fixed its problems with the community pages. So our homeschool community is up and running again!
I don’t know when it was fixed…after four months, I had pretty much given up checking on it. If you are interested in joining, check here and leave a [...]

Mildton Friedman on education

I’ve been enjoying listening to this while I surf, so I thought I’d share. It is lengthy (over an hour), but well worth it if you are weird like me.
My favorite line so far is his summary of the research that came out awhile back which suggested that public schools compare reasonably well to [...]

Or maybe you visited but didn’t get through all the posts? Fly on over!
And submitting [...]

Cleave to that which is evil

At the Y this evening, I could not but help noticing the clothing of a young man (about 9 or 10) playing pool in the foyer. On his dark blue T-shirt was printed in white letters, complete with the Lincoln Police Department uniform insignia,
“Stolen from the Lincoln Police Department.”

While this is the first time I [...]

Saying sorry…legally

When I used to work at Burger King, one of the first things I was taught in training was to never apologize after any sort of accident. Those simple words, “I’m sorry” which come almost automatically when something bad happens can mean a world of trouble for a corporation should a law suit be [...]

Promoting debt

I have a theory. I think you can predict the future of this nation by the junk mail we receive. Our mail box is generally filled with wonderful offers from companies across the nation offering us credit cards, loans, refinancing and occasionally even $10,000 for whatever we want. The back of the [...]
