When Andrea and I write posts here or in the atypicalife, we sometimes have a few grammatical errors in them. Most of them are typos and the remainder are usually us changing our mind half way through a sentence.

But, I’ve got to say, Sara Jenkins has got to get a press agent. The latest press release for her ‘comprehensive guide’ that takes 50 minutes to read is atrocious. Here’s a sample:

The statistics so far emerging has plenty to confirm this argument.

Hunh?

So how do the parents cope in these circumstances, where a lack of planning could seriously jeopardize their children’s homeschooling plans, especially in those areas, where homeschooling was seen by the state authorities as a negative vibe.

Pick a tense and go with it (but don’t run on too far).

There are papers to be filled out, curricula to get decided, and the school committees to be aptly convinced about.

I’ll get right on that.

What makes her homeschooling ebook guide … more significant, according to Sara, is the manner that she has chosen to communicate her ideas with.

more significant than???

CNN.com – A ‘Mrs.’ degree no longer – Nov 1, 2005

The cookie-baking classes and pop quizzes on laundry essentials that once dominated some home ec courses in junior high have broadened into courses geared toward “life skills,” including tips for budgeting, and basic knowledge of supply and demand.

So know you have to go to college to get some basic knowledge?

Not only that, I find it highly ironic that the average person doesn’t find it unusual that these classes exist, yet at the same time accuse homeschoolers of not living in the “real world”.

Um, yeah. My kids have learned how to manage a houshold effectively by (wait for it…) actually managing and participating in running the household.

No degree required. And they do their own laundry.
