We’d love to include her testimonial on the IAHE Testimonial page.

Melinda, if we would have included other parts of the 600+ page transcript, it would have given additional perspective was to why this comment was made. IAHE Action was focusing on the parts that mentioned homeschooling, but here is additional information that we didn’t include. It will help you better understand the context of the statement. Public schools are a totally different environment than our home schools. They have changed considerably since we attended public school.
Pg. 151 It does, and I am sorry, I will turn it over to Billy. I have actually been in some classrooms, you know, had career day, and students walk into the classroom like at 7:30 in the morning and they smell like marijuana. I mean some of these kids show up at school and they are high, they have got a contact high because of the environment that they are coming from.
Pg. 234 This is the reality of teachers who teach in urban communities. Just within the past two weeks one of my students committed murder. This week I looked 9 in the most wanted section and another one of my students under the same umbrella of special education with the same diagnosis going straight to prison.
Pg. 236. So just case in point, a lot of children , if you look at a child , one would just get upset and go off, and so you have to diffuse the situation. Sometimes children will take another child up on their threat and they will actually become physically abusive to another. In the meantime, I have other children to be responsible for and I have to take the time out to actually sit there and go through paperwork to write up the incident.
Pg. 253 I had a student that brought a gun into school, a student that tried to set another student on fire, I had a student that was shot in the stomach by his brother; students that come to school high, sell drugs, a student that set himself on fire while he was huffing. These are our students, these are the students that walk through our door, these are the children that we are trying to protect. This is an elementary school building.
Pg. 258 We have students that run out of the classroom and run out of the building; students that hit, bite, punch their classmates and the teachers. We have had numerous teachers this year that have been sent to the health clinic because of injuries from students. We have students that throw chairs, desks, and destroy classrooms; students that fight in the classroom.
Pg. 279 I am teaching second grade and the kids are throwing chairs at me, I can’t do it.
Pg. 243 We know that if the student is not in our room then they cannot learn. We also know that sometimes no one can learn because one student is in our room.
Pg. 253. I know two boys that sit up at night to protect their sister from their older brother.
Pg. 273 if you look at Indiana there are drug problems now everywhere in Indiana, I mean in rural, white communities there are drug problems.

As soon as feasible.

Agreed. Thank you for sharing your perspective, Melinda.

Jen, I’d recommend asking Dr. Brian Ray at National Home Education Research Institute. He may have studied it. We do know funding is a way to draw people back into the public system. http://www.nheri.org
