Scare Mongering about Home Schooling
Scare Mongering about Home Schooling: The Washington Post Magazine's cover story this week is about … the horrors of home-schooling. Specifically, the horrors of fundamentalist Christian home-schooling. The cover illustration for the story depicts a sinister windowless log cabin that's supposed to be your typical home school, I guess.
Author Lisa Grace Lednicer's main source for the story seems to have been an anti-home-schooling activist named Sarah Hunt, age 36, who was home-schooled herself and lived to tell the tale. Actually, Hunt seems to have done quite well for herself even though home schooling at the behest of her father had consisted largely of reading and watching videos from the Bob Jones University curriculum.
