Home Schooling Declared Illegal in CA!

[PeppyGPhiB]

I think this is probably a good thing. Too many parents take their kids out of public school because they just want to teach their kids what THEY want them taught, not what the kids need to learn in order to function in this world. There are many parents that do a great job at homeschooling, but there are so many that mess up their kids, too. Frankly, homeschooling has allowed a lot of hellicopter parents to control every aspect of their kids' lives.

Furthermore, I think homeschooling has allowed our states to ignore the state of public education in this country. Instead of being the "only when necessary" option that it once was, it's become an acceptable solution whenever parents just don't like their local public school...basically giving up on public schools. It's for this same reason that I don't really like charter schools - good schools are good for our society, and we should want to provide a good education to everyone.
