On average, homeschoolers do much better than their public school counterparts.
The biggest news? Homeschoolers are still achieving well beyond their public school counterparts—no matter what their family background, socioeconomic level, or style of homeschooling.
In the study, homeschoolers scored 34–39 percentile points higher than the norm on standardized achievement tests. The homeschool national average ranged from the 84th percentile for Language, Math, and Social Studies to the 89th percentile for Reading.
Obama political operative, Annabel Park, who pretends to be a “grassroots” (read: astroturd) leader of the Coffee Party (read: Sanka Party), deleted her LinkedIn account after bloggers started exposing her as the fraud she is. Funny thing…I had an exchange about her over the weekend and had already taken a screenshot of her LinkedIn profile. I knew she would delete it, because I knew what was headed her way.
Whatcha trying to hide, Miss Annabel? I suppose this is some of that transparency you learned from Obama while campaigning for him.
Filed under #fail as yet another anti-tea party group. Because of this, I’m not gonna link to her astroturf website - no link juice from me.

Polish arm of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform was pursuing an opportunity to display a huge 74 ft x 32 ft billboard alerting some and reminding others that it was Adolf Hitler who brought abortion to Poland.
The problem is, as I’ve stated many times on Twitter, the Tea Party wasn’t involved with this convention. There may have been a couple local Tea Party folks participating, but none of the real players in the movement were involved. If you’re asking how I have the inside skinny on all this, then you haven’t been paying attention to the movement over the last year.
This “convention” was about one guy, attorney Judson Phillips, and, in my opinion, his attempt at personal gain. What was he thinking? Just because Phillips was the guy who reviewed Michael Leahy’s ridiculous lawsuit filing (not ridiculous that it was filed, it needed to be. much of the substance of it, however, was ridiculous. I question Phillips’ capacity as an attorney if he greenlit that filing) against some Internet trolls last year, he’s suddenly part of the movement? Uh…I don’t think so.
The beltway had better figure out who is and who isn’t part of this movement. And to the Tea Party folks out there, it’s time to start distancing yourselves from what I call Tea Party Snake Oil Salesmen. You’ll know these types of shysters because they try to turn every Tea Party discussion into ways to make money.
