*HOMESCHOOL PING*

Studies have shown that the parents' level of education does not have a material effect on the success of the homeschooled student. Regardless of how much schooling the parents received, homeschooled students score 20 to 30 points higher than their public and private school peers on standardized achievement tests.

The really funny thing is that we just got the DVD based "Switched on Schoolhouse" from Alpha Omega. I'm learning right along with my third grader.

allowing parents who pass certain standardized tests to home-school their children.

lol! Yeah, right. How about we make legislatures and governors take tests? I bet you most of them haven't even read the Constitution or read the bills put in front of them before they vote.

Home schooling v. non home schooling is all about
money. School districts receive monies based on
Average Daily Attendance (ADA). The school districts
could give a hoot about your child's education. You
can pin them down, by asking: if they are so dedicated,
then teach for free, like you do. Stand back.

"We should treat people equally. We should not treat them differently just because they don't ask for the religious exemption," Black said.

That's correct. Parents by right should be a child's primary educators, and therefore should exercise primary control over their child's education.

This law stands to make liars out of non-religious parents. It induces them to take a religious exemption when they're not religious. I don't see how this can serve the common good.
