Of Serrefines and Spelling Bees

Tonight, I found myself engrossed in watching the National Spelling Bee, flipping between channels to watch CSI at commercial breaks. The winner was a homeschooler (and Irish at that). For those who question the authenticity of homeschool education...take that!! Not only did this kid win the spelling bee (the winning word was "serrefine"), he has a black belt in taekwondo, is a math whiz, and composes his own music. And he's only in 8th grade! Yeah, homeschoolers just sit at home and do nothing. Right.
