Someone left a comment with a good point on my column the other week in which I profiled Bethany Battig, a graduate student at UGA who was homeschooled through the seventh grade. The anonymous commenter thought that Bethany’s homeschool education was a good example, but there are some homeschooled students who may not be in as good of a situation, and s/he gave an example of a homeschooled student s/he met. I can’t speak about this specific example, but I think it’s true that not all homeschooling is good. [Full Story »]

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away – Statham, to be exact – a young couple welcomed their second son into the world. They had married several years before, had their oldest child, set up housekeeping in a small white frame house next door to the city cemetery and embarked on a journey that would last not nearly long enough.

Starting in the fall of 2009, I had reports from a homeowner in Barrow County about millions of holes in her home lawn as well as huge populations of black beetles invading the outside of her home at night. Even after treatment from a pest control company, the insect did not leave. Winter temperatures drove the insect in the ground. However, this summer starting in early August, Barrow County has been invaded by “plague like” populations of these black beetles. We have also been visited by unusually high populations of grasshoppers andarmyworms. These little black missiles have been identified by Dr. Dan Suiter, UGA Entomologist, as Dyscinetus morator or commonly called a Rice Beetle (although no evidence has ever been produced that it actually feeds on rice).

Dear Editor:
I am sick of people saying it is not the breed of the dog. There are certain breeds that were bred to be aggressive: Pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepard and Chows are just a few that fall into this category. [Full Story »]

I have heard a few mothers say that they do not permit their children to watch television at all, or they limit it to one 20-30 minute program or segment of a movie each day. I usually remain quiet when I hear this because I can only imagine what they would think of me if they knew how much television I allow my son to watch. [Full Story »]
