“The Associated Press article titled “Statistics show decline in state home-schooling” [B6, Oct. 25] was an example of biased reporting at its worst. The reporter referred only to the numbers of home-schooled children registered with the local board of education in Murfreesboro. While those numbers may be in decline, the cause is likely that Rutherford County home-schooling parents are choosing to register with a church-related school as Tennessee law allows. The vast majority of Tennessee home-schoolers choose this option in registering in order to get support and advice for their educational plan by those who believe in home education.” (10/30/06)
