At the same time, I support the California requirement because it makes sure the parent knows enough to teach. The idea that one is qualified to education children simply because of one's age is absurd. Nobody wants the meth-heads in my community raising children, much less teaching them!

Court of Appeal Grants Petition for Re-hearing

On March 25, the California Court of Appeal granted a motion for rehearing in the ‘In re Rachel L.’ case–the controversial decision
which purported to ban all homeschooling in that state unless the
parents held a teaching license qualifying them to teach in public
schools.

Just because a lot of nuts do it doesn't mean it's only good for nuts. Sure, I don’t see why rational people wouldn’t support having the choice of homeschooling.

If I coudn't, they'd be home schooled. There's not a situation where I'd place them in a government school. <br /> <br /> This decision bothers me a bit, but I guess liberals feel all kids should be government educated. Hmmm didn't Marx and Hitler have some certain thoughts about government and education. <br /> <br /> I have two children and thankfully can afford to have them in private school.
