Uh, am I the only one that thinks it's kinda weird that Shyamalan feels the need to point out that Noah Ringer is homeschooled? Just a smidge?

[tallycola]

But I thought everybody at Noah Ringer's school thought he looked just like Aang? Does his school = his family?

Homeschooled kids often interact with other homeschooled kids, at least in California.

Maybe it was the way the reporter wrote it, and it sounded more normal in context.

Unless being homeschooled automatically makes you a monk. Actually, that doesn't sound too off, at least for me...haha

Wait! There was a Nicklelodeon event in Manhattan? GOD I WISH I KNEW! I WOULD HAVE SO TRIED TO CRASH THAT.

Anyhow, I hardly remember anywhere in the Vedas when Rama Kendra had a cross tattooed on his back. And at least he SMILED once and awhile...
