Wow! A positive article imagine that!!!

Great article. The only thing is that the family they picked is not the norm. Most homeschoolers I know, including myself, don't have spotless homes with their kids wearing cardigan sweaters, sitting quietly at a desk so I think that leaves a false impression.

Most homeschoolers are just normal people with messy homes because they're too busy teaching and doing stuff in the homeschool, instead of cleaning all the time. I wonder if the mom cleaned for the interview and dressed her kids up.

That is what I thought too. Ok, if I knew a reporter was coming over I would sure have a spotless home and my kids would look their best!
