Free Range Kids

[Lloyd Danforth]

My dad wisely said that all children are home-schooled;

This is so true!  My interest in reading, my ability to speak English, and the way I interact with others was all taught at home because of the examples my parents set out for me by being themselves.
I was lucky. 
I don't remember one day of school that I didn't suffer some fear of bullying from students or teachers.

He he, I like this moniker. In my email to the committee I may insert, "My daughter is a free-range chicken and if you don't lay off we will all be bahk bahk bahking in your busy-body ear." I believe she lives(the shill who proposed the latest bill) in N. Hampton or Rye, and apparently there are people who are passing out fliers to all her neighbors to inform them of what a control-freak she is.

Cool... Freedom is much better than prison school.

"Better Safe Than Sorry" is Wrong

...kids need to take risks to learn to how be safe. A "Better safe than sorry" mentality doesn't promote child development, and hovering might not even keep your kids safe anyway.
