Blog nearly abandoned -- pulled back from the abyss by the arrogance and insolence of my town's Board of Education. It seems there was a teachers workshop scheduled for Wednesday, January 25th, which was absurd by its own right. I mean a Wednesday? In January? But whatever; at least its been on the calendar for the entire school year. It snowed Monday (well sort of -- it rained, but the weatherman swore there'd be lots of snow), so schools closed.

Suddenly, without notice, and with appallingly little communication and virtually no formal announcement, the long planned school closing for Wednesday the 25th was changed to Thursday the 26th.

If you're going to have your schedule turned inside out by the arbitrary whims of an elitist cabal who somehow believe you're available to accommodate their schedule, well then you may as well at least consider the option of homeschooling.

So consider this my public service: Here is the most recent Carnival of Homeschooling.

And here's the previous Carnival of Homeschooling, which I'd meant to post but never got around to. Check them out; they're loaded with straightforward, clearheaded advise and information. Unlike, say, public schools.
