WITH PRESS RELEASES LIKE THESE…
Homeschooling Parent Magazine and PBS are teaming up. A couple of lines in the PR jumped out at me:
PBS TeacherSource (pbs.org/teachersource) extends the educational value of PBS’ award-winning television programming by helping educators learn effective ways to incorporate digital media into instruction. TeacherSource includes more than 4,500 free lesson plans and online activities – all correlated to more than 230 sets of national and state curriculum standards.
…Cyndi Simmons, Editor-In-Chief of Homeschooling Parent said, “Homeschooling parents must under-gird the costs of teaching tools and curriculum from their own pocketbooks; unlike their public-schooled counterparts, there is no tax subsidy for the enormous costs associated with teaching children in a home-classroom setting.
Great! PBS wants to align us with “standards” and the magazine wants to scare newbies off with money worries. Good job, folks.

Compared to the “cost” of putting my kids in the PS system, HS’ing is a bargain. |
