The report concluded that Lanza's homebound placement was "inappropriate and nontherapeutic" and recommended a review of homebound status education and asked the state to consider an audit of existing homebound practices.

This bit pisses me off. Clearly Lanza's mother was making bad decisions from the beginning, and his home environment was no doubt unhelpful to the situation, but I am also 100% certain that school for Adam did not involve "socialization that kids enjoy as part of their education." That's exactly the kind of bullshit understanding of middle school that a "child advocate and author" would have.

Being home was terrible for him. But I am quite sure that being at school would have been just as terrible for him.
