staceyobu Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 He's been filming recent episodes from what I assume is his home. Today the bookshelf he was in front of clearly has a Sonlight binder and the CLE readers. I had questioned previously if the big blue binder was a Sonlight binder, but today was the first time I could actualy read the name! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Oooo! I like his easy manner when he does the news. I think he is the perfect host for a news show for kids/teens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Yup, that's a SL binder and science kit on the shelf. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabercro Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 That's quite interesting. I teach 7th grade and my students love CNN10. I've seen posts in a few Facebook teacher groups lately of people asking for alternatives because parents have complained about their students watching CNN (aka 'liberal' news). CNN10 has always been extremely unbiased in my opinion. So now knowing what curriculum he uses... kind of makes sense! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 We just saw that on yesterday’s episode and had talked about that at home! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 We love Carl! I've only seen slant a couple of times in the 5+ years watching CNN10 (previously CNN Student News?). And when I saw it, it wasn't egregious, only slight. It isn't like their main page at all (from the position of a conservative libertarian). The idea his family homeschools is fascinating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 That's great! We love Carl, here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 We enjoyed CNN10 a lot, and watched it for several years--from when we discovered it (and I wish we'd discovered it sooner) until one graduated and one went to ps. I, too, found it much more balanced than other news sources, and was pleased at the coverage. It was a great current events addition to our homeschooling years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Oh wow. We really like CNN10. My kids like guessing the quiz questions. We have a similar thing here but it’s longer format so we often watch cnn10 instead because it fits more easily in a school day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I saw that the other day. I am currently teaching 5th grade for a charter school, so we watch most days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget what the old format was called, but my kids and I watched that one every day. It was great. However, CNN10 had a completely different vibe. We stopped watching it within a couple weeks. I don’t know if it was bias or what, but it was a huge turnoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
