Did You Know...

...the winner of this week's National Spelling Bee is a homeschooler?

It seems that most of the major media are ignoring that fact, which is rather interesting given how frequently children are identified by their grade and school in media stories of this nature.

(Hat tip: HomeSchoolBuzz.)

A homeschooler also won the Geography Bee this week. She was the second girl to win the Geography Bee in the last 17 years.

FReepers noted that CNN dropped the homeschooling info from their Geography Bee story -- it was mentioned in other media reports -- with one post musing "I wonder if this is a new tactic by the MSM to downplay the advantages of homeschooling and the academic prowess of many homeschooled kids."
