Homeschooler Honored by Charlotte Public Schools?

In an interesting twist, a homeschooled student in Charlotte has been honored by a program sponsored in part by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system.

Although the initial story in the Charlotte Observer did not identify the student by name, 12-year-old homeschooler Zeke Bey was recognized by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police and fire departments in their "Do The Right Thing" program last night.

While on a walk last month, Zeke discovered a house fire just starting and alerted residents, allowing six adults to escape injury.
