Normally the truly bizarre antisocial kids DON'T win the bee, and the kids who win are the friendliest and most likable, who go on to be successful in just about everything they do. Last year was the exception.

At least there's one show on American TV promoting intelligence.

He's not a home-schooler, unlike last year's winner.

Home school is only as good as the teacher, and the relationship and believability of the same......better off learning on yer own-

There have been some great books and movies about spelling bees. It's a traditional american event. My own kid's school has been very excited about a student who made it to the state level, but not the national. It's a big deal. I can't spell at all, though I spell better on a keyboard than if I am using a pen and paper (I sympathized with that kid who looked like he was faking typing as an aid to spelling). On the other hand, I am pretty good at poker and at pool, and yet I enjoy watching a spelling bee more than televised poker or pool.

Does anybody know the qualifications and/or testing that have to be met by the home-schooled?

My mom is a professional teacher but she stopped being able to help me in junior high. I'd figure one would have to be brilliant to handle educating a child k-12. I hear that a lot of home schooled children are less able to adapt socially, or at least they gain the ability much later in life. Is there any studies on this?

There are plenty of homeschool organizations that help with homeschooling--providing syllabuses, reading lists, socialization opportunities, and so on (The California Homeschool Network is one). Some of the most well-rounded kids I know were homeschooled (my own child was not homeschooled).

This one was published one hour after yours was queued -- this one almost certainly came first.

... I'd figure one would have to be brilliant to handle educating a child k-12. ...

Just focus your kid's homeschooling on SAT preparation, and have them take online courses with the cheap online tutors from India, and in-person courses at the local junior college.

Most of high school is a waste, and the curriculum can be decades behind the cutting edge.

a girl i worked with once was homeschooled until 11th grade and went to high school senior year just so she could go to prom. she was a very nice girl. hott to. the only problem was she had a very hard time adapting socially. when she got a bad tip from a group of customers once, my friend told her "you really got shafted there" and she responded with, "whats a shafted?" she was a great girl, but it was just little stuff like that that showed the trouble homeschooled kids usually have.

^"What's a shafted?"

Ha. To be that disengaged from popular culture, though, you'd have to be not watching teen movies or hanging out on the internet etc.

Many kids like that are homeschooled because of their parents' moralistic or religious concerns about mainstream society, so I think homeschooling itself can still produce normal, socialized kids if you make that a concrete priority.

At least we know how to spell commentator...C-O-M-M-E-N-T-A-T-O-R...commentator. Perhaps you should watch more American TV.

Irregardless of how humorous it was, to quickly make such a joke, ain't that admirable?

I'm going to leave the typo (and typo it was) because it display the shock and bewilderment that sparked the comment.
