Also, on The Osbournes last night, Kelly and Jack wer complaining that they don't like going to school and that they are harrased to one degree or another because of who their father is. Ozzy's suggestion... "Do you want homeschooling?"
I am not sure if they go to government or private school, but with Ozzys wealth I would hope he has them in private school.
A good God, what a maroon bump....
Their "collective" training.
California education code does not address home-schooling and is considered by the state to be "unauthorized."
It was only authorized by the Supreme Court. Of course, the Marxists don't pay much attention to laws, do they?
"They're going to try to get my R-4 annulled and then try to prosecute me. That's not fair. I've followed the letter of the law and they're bullying us,"
They sure are. Sue them when you win the case, dear. They owe you.
'I'm a tutor without a credential so I'm a private school' then what would be the point in requiring a credential of a tutor?"
Who knows? It was the NEAs idea. (They just want those degrees for teachers so the colleges will remain filled). Most teachers teach because they failed to keep up with their true major. They couldn't make it. (I saw that on a news special), so they become teachers.
"For every competent home-schooler out there, there are 300 who are not, using it for an excuse to keep their kids home,"
And for every competant school teacher out there, there are 300 who are not, using it as an excuse to keep their paycheck.
300? I'd like to know where THIS statistic came from. Another lie, of course. And gee, why would parents want to keep their kids home? Could it be the failing Satanic school system?
You Ca. homeschoolers need to rally by this mothers side. They'll be comming after you next. The schools losing money, and they'll destroy anyone who stands in the way of their dollar signs !!! Besides, the kids need their indoctrination for the socialist world order.
This is a complete load of crap. ALL the statistics show that homeschooled children do better than their public schooled peers. If this woman's statement was true, it would show up in the studies. It doesn't. I would ask this woman for a source but I know she doesn't have one.
The myth that parents homeschool so they can keep their children home (any mother knows that is crazy) is right up there with the "socialization" myth. Both these myths were dashed years ago but continue to be used by opponents who want the money and the control.
The real message of this article is this: Your child belongs to the State.
Their idea of "competence" is political correctness. If the State of California wants to see rage among its citizens, this will do it.
Complete bovine excrement.
People don't want their kids home and homeschooling is a huge sacrifice: If nothing else, it is giving up eight or so hours of free day care five days a week.
People may be abusing homeschool (and the homeschool nazis jumped all over me for saying "a lot" were) but homeschoolers do a much better job on average than public schools.
In fact, comparing the average homeschooled student to the average public school student makes an excellent case for closing all the public schools.
Dear Friend of Education,I'm outraged at the audacity of public school authorities and the intrusiveness of their agenda!
Let me explain.
I had the opportunity to meet Columbine survivor Mark Taylor, his mother and a former member of the Colorado State School Board at the Denver airport last month, just after the second anniversary of the Columbine massacre.
Mark has left public school and has been on home study since he was shot seven times and left for dead. I talked with him long into the night about his recovery and his schooling. He told me of the intense pressure put on him to return to Columbine High School. I was apalled as I heard him recount how one school authority told him...
"If your mom is the problem, money can be found to hire a lawyer to sue her so you can return to Columbine. . .

Well, that's probably about right...

My kids go to this very same school district.
My oldest is a JROTC Officer, straight A student and active in community and volenteer work.
If you insist on saying that ALL Public Schools are bad, you are really beyond having a conversation with.
Lumping everyone who goes to or is involved with public schools is stupidity, just like lumping every resident of a state.
