Public schools can't be beat
By Kelly Flynn
. . . /But They Can Be Whipped/
By Jenn Young
I just had to chuckle my way through your wonderfully tongue-in-cheek
response to Ms. Flynn's column. I head up the Florida-homeschool email support loop, and we have all enjoyed reading your rebuttals. Thankfully, we now know homeschooling is NOT for everyone, and Ms. Flynn should be at the top of the list of those who should not attempt it. She is the perfect little indoctrinated foot soldier for the socialist party of the NEA. Another well proven case of the blind leading the blind. Keep up the great writing. You have a gift.

Great job on your response to the most inane opinion on
homeschooling that I have ever read. It just goes to show you
that teachers really do come from the bottom third of their
class. I had to leave both a teacher certification program
and a graduate program for gifted ed. - they told me I was
"too creative and beyond the program"! Ok, there are bright
teachers out there - somewhere - but certainly not that
writer. She is probably stymied by your impressive
vocabulary.

I have two things to say - BRAVA! and ENCORE! :)

Dear Jenn,
I just finished reading your response to Kelly Flynn’s
article bashing homeschooling. I’m still mopping up the tears
of laughter from your responses, while at the same time
feeling so proud to be a homeschooling family. If my children
grow up with just a fraction of the intelligence, curiosity,
courage, and cleverness you demonstrated in your response, I
will be overjoyed.
Thank you for saying what is on everyone else’s minds. I look
forward to witnessing the positive changes you will impart on
this crumbling world.
Respectfully,

Wonderful column! Wish you were syndicated here.
Best wishes,

Jenn, you just made my day! ;-)

your talent.

Dear Ms. Young -
My name is Donna De Poalo and I publish Educational Freedom
Press, a service of EducationalFreedom.com. Recently
someone posted a copy of a letter you wrote in response to
news writer Kelly Flynn to a homeschooling list. I absolutely
loved your letter and would like to talk to you about
including it in our next issue. We have a regular section
called_Perspectives_and I think your letter would be perfect
there.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Donna M. De Poalo

Jenn,
I loved your response to Kelly Flynn's article on the
superiority of public school over homeschool. May I use your
comments in our local homeschool association newsletter?
