Wouldn't it be nice if I could put a nice little educational item on the Nuze everyday for you homeschooling parents? I would say I'll try ... but I'm lousy at followthrough.
Anyway ... here's a link you can use to teach your child the strangeness of the number 6! I wonder who sat down and figured this one out.

interesting numbers
This works for any multiple of 3, including multiples of 6 and 9, since they will also be multiples of 3. I'm not sure about the order of 3,9,6 as in this example... I haven't tried that, but add the digits of any number that is a multiple of 3, and the result is also a multiple of 3. Keep adding the digits until you have a one digit number, and it will be 3,6, or 9 every time.
Top Ten Reasons to Home School
1. To instill your values and beliefs in your children. 2. To speak to and meet your children's unique individual needs 3. To help your children through the difficult times in their lives. 4. To help your children understand the hard questions we face in life. 5. To build intimate and meaningful relationships with your children. 6. To daily show your children how much you love them. 7. To share with your children the common,everyday joys of life. 8. To be there when your children need you most. 9. To be your children's mentor, spiritual leader, role model, friend, and teacher. 10. To protect your children from the negative influences they may encounter outside the home.
I sm a homeschool student and appreciate the recognition.
Thanks Boortz

The big one you forgot is: No child left behind = No child gets ahead
Homeschooling
C'mon Hugo the point of homeschooling is not to raise unthinking children blinded by religious dogma. Admittedly, many homeschooled families I know of are also Christain families, but the main purpose is that we care more than I believe the average parent about the quality and content of our children's education. From what I can tell, there are kids have a higher aptitude and/or have different learning needs that aren't being served by gov't education. Children just aren't achieving their full potential and they aren't being equipped to be independent and able to achieve the future dreams they may have. I personally can tell, because I remember my gov't education being light years ahead of my child's (for the short time he attended).
Since you invented some crazy topics to stereotype homeschoolers, let's explore if we can make some for gov't schools...
* It's an undeniable fact - catastrophic, global warming is caused by humans. It's our fault, because we're so greedy. * It's a great idea to share everything you own. Remember also the world is a great big community after all, you're not fully responsible for your own actions. * If math, language, and history are too tough, don't worry, you'll pass anyway. There's no time to help the stragglers and failing you might make you feel bad. * If you're more advanced than what's in the current material... we don't have time for you, we have a set of topics - don't try to move ahead of the class. Deal with it. * Don't just tolerate, but universally accept all precepts and actions for just about any behavior or culture, because well - we need to be more understanding rather than there being an equal level of understanding the other direction. * (add your favorite gov't school problem here)
Thanks Neil for taking the time to provide something special for homeschoolers.
Home schooled child
Our daughter (home schooled)is 4 1/2 years old. She's been reading for nearly a year, she can count to 100, do basic math, and wrote us her first story last month. All this for pennies on the dollar compared to gov't schools, and in a fraction of the time each day. She goes on many field trips with other home schooled and gov't school kids, and plays soccer and takes gymnastics. So social interaction is not a problem. She is well adjusted, polite, thoughtful, kind and smart. Okay, I may be biased. Point is, she is far ahead of gov't school children, and yet we still have to pay taxes for other kids to be indoctrinated. A voucher program would be a nice start from the gov't to show that they really care about our kids. Yeah, when pigs fly.
number nine is interesting too
Multiply any number by nine. Keep adding the digits and you'll end up with nine.

Thanks for thinking of us in ways that you can help! Just keep up the great job you already do!:)
Number Nine
The number nine is more interesting than six. Take any 3 digit number. Add the digits. Subtract that number from the original number. The result will be divisible by nine.
I'm not sure how far this goes, but many multiples of nine have digits that add up to nine or 18.

Maybe you could post an item about how dinosaurs lived at the same time as humans. Or the competing theory that dinosaur fossils were put on earth by Satan to trick us!
linking to a non-commercial website...
Of the "Free hosting" variety is probably not a good thing. It appears that the site has already been brought down.
Might I suggest you consult the maintainer of said website before you link to them, so that they can offer solutions to the inevitable "slashdotting". For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot_effect
Homeschooling Parent Here
Proving it doesn't take more money to fix education!!
On a single, average salary, we teach 3 kids (5th, 4th and K) more than they would learn in public schools, at a fraction of the cost (out of our pocket) and still pay (taxed) for someones kid to go to school for free.
It's worth the investment.

Your link is broken. Please attempt to fix this link and I would love to see this one. Thanks
Homeschooling links
Thanks, I'll get my wife to email me a few of her favorite links that are used in our home for homeschooling our boys.
I won't say you convinced me to homeschool, but you certainly give me plenty of ammo to use for convincing friends and family, and I work for a school district!
Thanks again.
