June bugs and Ladybugs
I saw my first June bug of the season tonight. My kids get a kick out of watching me freak out and run from June bugs, which I've learned are actually May Beetles. These bugs have been haunting me since I was a kid. I know they won't hurt me, but I just can't stand how they cling to you. On the other hand, ladybugs are so cute and fun to play with. My niece took this picture of a ladybug.

Nice video about the benefits of homeschooling
The video Homeschool: Propaganda Vs. Reality (Shattering the myths) has a number of fun statistics, facts and quotes about homeschooling.
Here were two of my favorites:
"Home school students watch much less televsion than students nationwide; 65% of home school students watch one hour or less per day compared to 25% nationally."
A reason why homeschoolers do better is they aren't wasting their time filling their brain with mindless junk.
Dr. Gary Knowles, the University of Michigan, studented home educated adults.
"None were unemployed and none were on welfare, 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons, 79% said it helped them interact with individuals from different levels of society, and they strongly supported the home education method."
This one surprised me. I don't remember hearing of any study between unemployement and homeschooling. Maybe the answer to the current depression is to ask more parents to homeschool their children.
Here's the video:

Good article about homeschoolers and college
In Do Homeschoolers Succeed in College? Milton summarizes a recent article about homeschoolers in college. Milton starts with:
----------
This post reviews Michael F. Cogan, "Exploring Academic Outcomes of Homeschooled Students" in Journal of College Admission 208: 18-25(2010). Read the full article here.
Cogan acknowledges the lack of satisfactory, empirical research concerning homeschooled students' academic achievements and/or outcomes at the collegiate level. In an effort to correct the deficiency, he compares the academic outcomes (or academic standing as evidenced by comparative GPAs) of homeschooled students to those of traditionally-educated students enrolled at a mid-sized doctoral institution in the Midwest.
----------
And Milton concludes with:
---------
Cogan tells us with statistics what administrators have known anecdotally for a long time. Homeschoolers typically perform as well or better than their traditioanlly-schooled peers, and they don't drop out of school. That's the kind of student any school covets.

I'm guessing most homeschoolers can tie their own shoes
Joanne Jacobs writes about a sad trend: Students can't tie their own shoes:
----------
In recent years, college students have lost the ability to tie their own shoes, writes Jerry Weinberger, a Michigan State political science professor, on City Journal. Without their helicopter parents, students lose syllabi, break appointments and can't find the final exam. They don't buy the right books — and as many as 20 percent don't read the books, Weinberger believes.
Before 2004, his final exams would pose essay questions like "Compare Hobbes and Nietzsche on the question of religion" and "What is the difference between Marx and Locke on the origins of private property?" That's impossible now. Too many would flunk.
----------
I've heard that in general most colleges find homeschoolers are responsible and serious about higher education.
