Why can't public schools team up with the homeschool community? There's a lot of support for parents who think their children may thrive in a homeschool environment. Why does public school and homeschool have to be opposing forces? It could be a good thing to make them more interconnected. There is a program in Camas, WA call Home Link where this cooperation between homeschool and public school seem to be working well.

I am a republican and an evangelical Christian. I am also a believer in global warning. I began to care about climate change after watching An Inconvenient Truth. I think Christians will agree that we need to be good stewards of our planet, but they don't care! It's about getting people to care. The convincing data is what did it for me. Unfortunately, a lot of Christians have not seen An Inconvenient Truth because they do not trust and do not like Al Gore. They cannot get past the man and look at the issue. This has been my experience.
