Frank,

And lest anyone think the youngster that won was subjected to just too much teaching for the spelling bee, he also was in the top four or five(can't remember exactly) in a National Geography Contest.

bad thing for teachers to become unionized
My sister is a teacher so I hear about problems all the time. Most are with the administrative heirarchy and nearly all boil down to lack of funds. She only mentions the union as a source of insurance.

Home school probably works well for motivated kids and dedicated parents. I don't see it as a general solution.
