  • Do you find this odd?

    I just read this article about the recent court decision in California:

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2...

    Here's a quote from the article:

    "Heimov said her organization's chief concern was not the quality of the children's education, but their "being in a place daily where they would be observed by people who had a duty to ensure their ongoing safety.""

    If they are saying they want children to be with people who have a duty to ensure their safety, they should leave them with their parents.

    There are MANY instances of children being abused by teachers, and even some female teachers are beginning to prey on students.

    I find it odd that people are more trusting of teachers (who are strangers to the child) than they are of parents. In addition to being odd, it is also a bit scary.

  • If you're against homeschooling, why answer questions here?

    I have trouble understanding why those of you who are against homeschooling continue coming to this section to answer questions.

    I think I could make the argument that most parents should homeschool or even that the government should not be in the business of providing public education, but I am not running over to other sections of yahoo answers criticizing others for their choices.

    If you are against homeschooling, why answer questions here?

    I am not offended, just curious.

  • What's the deal with index cards?

    My turn to ask a question...

    I have seen several people ask questions about what they should do with index cards. Why would you purchase index cards if you don't need them? And if you have purchased them and don't need them, why not just stick them in a drawer somewhere?

    When I was in school, we only used index cards as flashcards or to make notes to organize for a research paper. I think I am missing something here.

    What do students use index cards for nowadays?
