KristenR Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I occasionally read Penelope Trunk's blog on homeschooling. I can't seem to read her too much because some of her stuff makes me :glare: but there is some really funny stuff there. Anyway, I haven't checked her in awhile and just saw this post she made about starring in a homeschooling reality show. What do you guys think? Good for the community?

Veritaserum Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 After reading her rant about curriculum, I am not excited about people watching this show and thinking homeschoolers are all like that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah- maybe I should have clarified a bit more. She is definitely not a classical homeschooler. She is an unschooler, which is fine, but she takes a THIS WAY or the highway mentality with everything that leaves much to be desired. My fear is her --- ummmm abrasive demeanor might put a bad taste in people's mouths and trump her wittier side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I don't know who she is, but I think "reality" TV rarely does any good to the subject on which it is "shedding light". I think it's usually far more likely that the producers go in with preconceived notions and manipulate the situation and the footage shown to fit their view.
