Where are the data? Are they claiming that home-schooled children are more violent, or more prone to crime than public-school kids? Are they claiming that their new rules would prevent schizophrenia?
The Democratic Party has become the party of idiots, and corrupt fools.
Publik skools.
Populated by bottom of the SAT possessors of “eddikashun” degrees.
Remember, if Bill Ayers can get PhD in the subject, we aren’t talking above average level intellect here.
Close ‘em all.
Really.
Capitalism will provide good education for far less money.
There is a reason Obama would not give political asylum to the german family who was here because they were violating the law in Germany by homeschooling.
Giving them asylum would have taken a stand for home schooling, which, for future needs, it was imperative they not do.
Huh?
They hate homeschooling because they want total control over the minds and morals of all children.
Homeschooled children are children not in the classroom generating attendance money for the school district.
Just so I understand....
There was a school shooting in a public school. So we need to crack down on “home schooled” children to prevent these tragedies in the future.
Public schools are nothing more than babysitting / indoctrination stations.
Take government out of schools and take schooling back to basics Reading, Writing & Math with fact based History. Once you hit middle school, school should 40 hrs per week with 2 weeks vacation when you want it. When you hit high school, practical home budgeting classes and you MUST successfully pass a 80hr Government/Constitution class.

OMG!!! What the HELL does homeschoolers have to do with Sandy Hook??? Idiocy.....Liberalism is a MENTAL DISORDER.
The 16 member commission is looking at homeschooling and not drugs the killer was on?
He was "Public Education" for 10+ years so what about that? I smell that certain interested parties were not invited to participate on this committee, I wonder why? Oh, yes, Connecticut, and Gov. Dannel Malloy is a Democrat, elected in large part by the public school unionists. Gee, I'm so smart!
If everyone homeschooled,
a Sandy Hook would have been impossible.
All the kids would have been at home.
Pulled my grandaughter out at 15 because of the lack of learning, gangs, dumbed down tests etc. She got so bored with the school drudge she stopped caring about learning entirely.
Home schooled her at 15, she passed her state GED tests and received her HS diploma at 16, 3 days after her 17th birthday taking Math, English and Nursing pre-requisites at the 4 yr local college as a full time college student.
She would have ended up a dropout at 16 and flipped burgers forever if nothing would have been done. Now she is on the road to becing an RN by the time she’s 20.
Is this satire?
The idiocy of the whole thing is that this one particular homicidal lunatic was actually a product of the PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM for at least 10 years, but presumably more. He was pulled at the age of 15 or 16 when he was halfway through their high school system, to be homeschooled because the public system was failing him. I defy them to name one child who was homeschooled his entire life who has gone on a shooting rampage and killed a pile of people. Any direction they can point a finger that doesn’t incur any blame on their own extremely flawed system. (shaking head in incredulity)
Gun control, child control, we are just tools of the state.
In school he was diagnosed with psychological issues again and again through 10th grade. So, the school system had him through 10th grade.
In Spring 2008, he stopped going to his high school classes, but he continued with a Tech Club and other events at the school. Also that semester (Spring 2008), he turned 16 (the legal dropout age), earned his GED, and applied to a university. He was accepted and started university courses in Summer 2008.
That's not even homeschooling. That's dropping out to start college at age 16.
But, of course, that simple logic won't stop the public school educators from claiming that he was homeschooled.
