A Blount High School freshman was taken to a hospital after being stabbed in the face with a knife during an on-campus fight with a classmate, authorities said.
The 17-year-old victim in the Thursday morning stabbing later was released from the University of South Alabama Medical Center. School officials said teachers subdued the attacker, a freshman who was arrested by police.
Is this what the critics of homeschooling mean by socialization?

This is a terrible tragedy
Eighth-grader Lawrence King was shot Tuesday during a class at E.O. Green Junior High, police said.
Police have not alleged a motive for the shooting, but said there appeared to have been "bad blood" between the teens. Police said a handgun was used in the attack, which occurred with more than 20 other students in the room.
Thankfully none of the other public school students were hurt.
