Hip-hop Pythagoras: Kills grammar dead June 27, 2004
At the end of this school year all our students were supposed to write a "research paper" (we use the term very loosely) on some topic from Mathematics.

Regular readers of Daryl Cobranchi, Chris O'Donnell and the Homeschooling Revolution (to name but a few)--bloggers who are positively fanatical and self-serving with their views on "homeschooling"--may think that "homeschools" are all fine and dandy.
