HOMESCHOOL GAGGLE?
It’s not often that home education on gets mentioned at a WH press gaggle.
MS. PERINO: Hi. It’s a short flight, and I thought I would just give you some color on the day and then answer any questions you might have.
Let me give you a little bit about Mrs. Bush’s day, just a couple of things of color for you. One of the things she attended this morning — she went to an orphanage, a family center that’s run by Bethany Christian Services, out of the United States. It’s a group house for young children. It’s a faith-based organization, with a mix of private and public funding; they do get USAID funding. She was just — the impression was that she felt that they were doing really wonderful work.
And one of the things she mentioned is that the folks who work in the home are Americans, moms and dads who come over and sometimes bring their children, if they have children, and then live here in Albania to help take care of those children, and they home-school their own.

Btw, what IS the collective noun for a group of homeschoolers? And if there isn’t one established as correct, why don’t we think of some options? I’ll start: A sovereignty of homeschoolers? |

Come to think of it, yep, the geese-evoking gaggle would be perfect in some applications . . . 🙂 |
