OhM Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 with the homicidal homeschooler? :glare: The money quote came from the genius profiler exclaiming to the mother and abusive father, who are not cooperating to help find the killer, "Don't you know what social isolation does to a child???!!!!" (Sigh):banghead: Are there TV & movie storylines that portray well-adjusted, achieving homeschooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the nicest kids I've ever seen on TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fixed it for you. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I saw it and it made me mad. How hard would it have been to just say the 17 year old was a dropout. No, have to depict the homicidal serial killer homeschooler with abusive parents that suffers from social isolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yeah, I was a bit irritated at the comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhM Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I fixed it for you. ;) Took me a minute - yeah - thanks!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I knew it wasn't going to be good when the teacher got the shocked and dismayed look on her face when she said "He's no longer a student. He's homeschooled." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhM Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yeah - the kid had a horribly abusive father - and the parents indicated he had sociopathic behaviors as a child - but n-o-o-o-o-o - it's the homeschooling and social isolation that pushed him over the edge. The scene where the teacher realized that she did know another teen who fit the profile; she just didn't remember because he's homeschooled grated on me, too. It was almost as obvious as everyone throwing up their hands and saying - "Of course - he must be the killer!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmeraldGirl Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I knew it wasn't going to be good when the teacher got the shocked and dismayed look on her face when she said "He's no longer a student. He's homeschooled." Yep, my thoughts also. Then Reed's socialization comment really got to me (I so like his character most times :glare:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifelearnin' Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I did see this episode too! At first I was irritated that the comment was made. Then I realized that it really just boils down to the fact that people are just ignorant. We as parents who homeschool know that are kids are very normal, capable kids. This episode just plays off the stereotypes that plague homeschool kids. It actually gets a little old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Nooo! I haven't watched it yet, but I love Reid. :( Maybe I should just delete the episode and live in ignorant bliss. Just think how many sociopaths are going to result from our homeschooling. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
