I hope this snip works, respectfully snipped to address.... (I do not know why all the sudden im having so much trouble with this ) I think that as far as the MMS goes we could be looking at all three of these violations. I had not even considered charges of munchausen, and I don't think the...

I caught that (and many other of my typos, but was too lazy to fix them).. At least I'm not the only one that got a chuckle out of it :)

If this were a possibility I would have definitely looked into it for my highly gifted, socially awkward son... I doubt however that the state is prepared to provide one on one education under anything but the most extreme cases...my son would have LOVED being able to work one-on-one, at his...

I'm not sure of the details, but I know that this isn't offered to every ?child/district? It may be that my local district is unaware of this program or that for some reason the two cancer stricken children I know didn't qualify, but I know that one of their mothers was quite vocal on FB about...

Here are some semi-related articles I found interesting... http://m.wmur.com/news/insanity-plea-for-mother-accused-of-feeding-children-bleach/28084354 http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/2725187...

Exactly!!! They even arrested a woman who was drinking (two beers) and breastfeeding in conway arkansas a while back!! And the sheriff was quoted as saying that MMS was not the only thing being investigated, the adult son who most definitely knows more than anyone commenting here states that he...

You are right, that was poorly worded and I apologize. I didn't mean it to be offensive I meant to point out the different standard that seems to be being applied by some people and some media who are blindly defending this family when they don't have all the facts, just because they are...

We do not know what other allegations have been made against them, we only have HS's side that MMS "and other junk" are what the authorities are investigating. And OF COURSE if he has been abusing his kids he isn't likely to come out and say he has... The fact that these parents are christian...

The state has no way of knowing what any individual child scores on the standardized testing. http://a2zhomeschooling.com/laws/united_states/arkansas_home_school_laws/#results Parents can chose to test in their homes, they do not have to have any specialized education to administer the tests...

Yes it is a satellite campus of U of A, but it is publicly funded, just like every other public high school in the state and when a child transfers to Asmsa their homeschool loses any per child funding for that child, I'm just saying that since the cost per student is higher than the state...

No, I stated that in my opinion and in my experience that it is laughably easy to get an exemption. I understand the laws in my state. I'm just saying that a lot of parents that I know take huge advantage of those laws. I know several home school families, off the top of my head I can think of 5...

They do not need those tests for college admission. A college would require them to obtain their GED and take the ACT or SAT.

That may be because ASMSA is in hot springs, and also a state funded public school, and since its a residential school, and has a brand new res-life bldgl I'm sure the cost per student is much higher than your average district....I'm not sure about that but it does make sense... At least to me.

That was the point I was trying to make. I know several homeschooling parents, some who are doing it well for great reasons and some... Not so much... I actually know a family who moved here from another state after an investigation prompted by public school teachers reporting them for abuse, so...

IMO it is laughably easy for the homeschoolers to get an exemption for those tests. I know several homeschooling families and I don't know a single one that takes these tests...

I have never heard of anything like this. Substitute teachers here are only used if the regular teacher calls in sick or is out on some type of leave... Our substitutes have to pass a test and that is relatively new, most are not licensed teachers and I'm pretty sure they don't even have to have...

Of the two kids I know of, one parent chose to homeschool her child while he received chemo and was unable to attend school, and he was back and forth between home school and traditional classroom instruction for several years with each round of treaent. The other child was too ill to have...

Nope, in arkansas homeschool parents pretty much have complete freedom as to which, if any, curriculum is used.
