Home School

I think that there are a few things to be said about the recent ruling in Los Angeles California, forcing parents of home schooled kids to have a teaching credential. I was irate and shocked at such an intrusive ruling. The implications of such a law and its enforcement is way out the possible reach of California's police and legal power.
I have 2 degrees and a lot medical service training, yet I would not be allowed to home school my son after the age of five. The decision would require thousands of persons on huge task forces to enforce. Where the heck would the state of California get that money? The idea must be to see a flash flood of enrolment for teaching credentials. The state will probably start a program; "Get your teaching credentials in 6 weeks! State certified! Only 5,000 dollar's! What a deal!"
The schools are swamped with high student teacher ratios. Where would they put them all? The state of California should be looking at why people are taking there kids out of schools if they want a solution. The public system hads so many faults, holes, and problems they don't know what to do. Some of their credentialed teachers are harassing, neglecting, abusing, and not educating kids. They are babysitting. So moms and dads keep their kids home and do their best to teach them. I feel that the parents who care enough to make the sacrifice to stay home and teach their kids are doing all they can to teach them. By furthering their own educations, joining groups, and reaching out in every direction to build just the right curriculum.
Every group and organazation has there fanatics. Including the judicial system! This is a huge can of worms!!!! California must have some sadistic plot to get everyone to move out of the state. I can say that I will be the first to change my residency and pay taxes towards a state who isn't trying to dictate my every move.
