That is several months old... here is a small update: HSLDA | Keep Praying for the California Case
As far as I can tell from reading both articles, nothing has really changed... parents are still homeschooling their kids, and the judge was simply enforcing his interpretation of the law for that one family (who had a history of abuse, btw), not for all homeschooling families. |

Interesting. Here in Michigan we have a well developed homeschool network, and it's unthinkable that it would be restricted here.
I'd be really surprised if anyone really tried to enforce this. There would be such an outcry, as parents don't take this sort of thing lightly.

Regulation of education is one of the powers that the people have delegated to our state governments in our constitutions. I think the only way around this one is to get an amendment to the California constitution passed.

Mo has some very loose laws about HS, but I have seen a school system call family services if they suspect abuse or neglect of education, and I have seen people who had absolutely no business trying to educate their children. If the system can't go both ways then it's not a good system. In other words, I am extremely pro-HS, but only if it's done responsibly. If it's not, then the state should get involved; I just don't want to see abuses on either side.

I think in Texas, home schooled kids have to take the same tests that kids going to school take.

No, in Texas, homeschoolers are left alone. There is no notification needed, no requirements need to be met. Texas is one of the best states to homeschool in!  |
