Reel to reel is THE BEST.

You go, mom.

EDIT: Why the downvotes? Seriously, reel to reel was at that time the most true to live sound you could get. I know vinyl is all warm and whatnot and popular today but if you wanted good sound in the 70s you went with those giant things.

Sometimes, though, the kid is just really really smart and good at learning and the school system doesn't have the resources to provide them with a meaningful education.

It's not a common thing, but it is a legitimate reason to homeschool.

3000 families. Probably a lot more than 3000 kids.

I'm sure they knew that he's a Nazi. I read an article from a watchdog blog about Mr. and Mrs. "Saxon" where there are some screenshots of comments where the wife goes on a bit about pushback and questioning of things the kids would say from their grandparents and other family. Considering that she is an immigrant I don't think it's far fetched to assume that the family she's referring to is Mr. Saxon's.

But that would mean the rest of the family themselves are not Nazis, and just trying to be able to maintain a relationship with their grandkids. That's gotta be a difficult thing to navigate. There's a very good chance they didn't know anything about the homeschooling group until the story broke.
