Show Review - Wednesday, October 25, 1989 - Page 10 Home schooling, a help or a hindr By LYNNE JOLLEY AUTHOR'S NOTE: The parents' and school teachers' names have been changed in this article to protect the identity of the stu-dents. Home Schooling. For some people these words bring negative conno-tations on how to educate children. For others, home schoolingcan be a savior to their childrens' educa-tion, especially if they are suffering in their social relations or academic performance in public school. Often parents and school teach-ers meet to discuss a particular child's problems in these areas. If they are severe enough, home schoo-ling may be the decision reached in order for the child to continue his education without failing in his academics or completely withdraw-ing from his peers. Once a child is in home school, however, his social skills and aca-demic performance can either in-crease or decrease his social stand-ing with other students. Recently several parents of home schoolers and public education shared their views on the social aspects that can affect these chil-dren - aspects such as, how a child's self-estee- can be affected if he is ridiculed in public school by his peers, and how it can be affected by them once he is in home school. Other topics discussed were how these children responded to their parents as teacher, and how this can affect their interaction with the public school teacher after the home schooling experience. Mr. and Mrs. Abe Danforth of Utah County chose to educate their two junior high school boys at home due to the harassment they re-ceived from other young men, who Danforth referred.UM n, macho boys" as Ur "These fellows aggressive and soJ ""KlT le"t.

The Taylors have five children and they were all there to watch the victory. With six horses, three of them were racing during the summer. Mama "T" ran three times in California this year. She took two firsts and a second. In one race in Sacramento, she equaled the world's second place for 2 furlong run-ning time of 50 seconds flat. Next year Papa "T" will be sent to California to race. Kent named MamaT after his wife, Wilma, and now Papa "T" is named after Kent. By KALYN SECRETAN While some people wait a life-time to bring home the winningcup at the World Wide Appaloosa Futu-rity, Kent and Wilma Taylor, Lin-don, did it, two years in a row. Last year Mama "T" won the greatest race of her life. This year her full brother, Papa "T" emerged about three lengths ahead of the second place winner, Turnouthe-lights- , son of Easy Jet from Okla-homa. Listed among the top ten of the nation's two year olds, Papa "T" won the event at the New Mexico State Fair on September 17, 1989. The Taylors are thrilled with the victory and received a gross purse of $53,260. They had another horse in the same race. Two year old "Anita Charger," a filly purchased from Gene Magee, came in fifth place. She was being run on the buggy's by Kaylon Whitely and just looked like a horse that might do the Taylors some good. Fortunately, she placed fifth. The New Mexico win was Papa "Ts" fourth start. Taylor said he just didn't get him going that early. The trials were held in New Mexico on September 8, with two gates Papa "T" came in tenth in the finals after the trials. He qualified but the "bookies" didn't give him a chance. Doug and Nelda Robinson of Pleasant Grove raised the mother of Papa "T" and Mama "T". Caesar Babe came in second place in World Wide in 1976 earning $18,375. The trainer, Glade Van Tussel, of Draper, also trained Mama "T. He always wears his lucky shirt. In the World Wide Futurity, jockey Gary Sumpter, of Freeadosa, New Mexico, brought Papa "T" to a winning victory. The Taylor fans were ecstatic.
