I am somewhat worried for friends ultimately the liberty of all parents is at stake. <BR/><BR/>It does seem that this particular opinion is out on a limb and is not likely to stand. I just wonder how long until another attack comes. I'm mentally preparing to take a stand.Learning Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140422740725139483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-86103957132948169882008-03-10T11:34:00.000-07:002008-03-10T11:34:00.000-07:00David - I agree that a certificate does not grant ...David - I agree that a certificate does not grant wisdom and skill. The Wizard of Oz approach of giving a piece of paper does not make people smart. <BR/>I am not as concerned about this ruling as I first was. I think we'll need to watch it, and make sure our legislators not mess it up, but I think the ruling will be overturned.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous - There are a few people who may be Christian fanactics, but most homeschoolers are concerned parents who have studied the public school system and felt they could do a better job. When my friends study the public school system they start to become very concerned. Homeschooling is growing very fast. It is hard to get specific numbers, but it appears to be between 5% to 10% a year.Henry Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097237237859928969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-12157384795838473602008-03-10T09:08:00.001-07:002008-03-10T09:08:00.001-07:00Yes homeschooling is too legal in California.

There are a few different ways a family can home educate their children and they are all legal. Families in California know perfectly well what the law is before they make their decision to homeschool. The law has not changed.Sisterlisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697215030563741501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-74278074488578878922008-03-09T20:45:00.000-07:002008-03-09T20:45:00.000-07:00Home schooling is illegal in California.

What do we call the fellow that graduated at the bottom of his med school class? "Doctor". One can insert almost any profession, degree, or title into that quip; the point is that it is the actual skills an individual possesses that are important, not the supposed certification.<BR/><BR/>Every parent in America should closely follow this ruling, the implications are earthshaking. America is founded on the rights and powers of the individual. “We, the people” … individuals; not states, not cities, not the governmental bureaucracy.David Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07517537496876333562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-13896667942281704762008-03-07T19:36:00.000-08:002008-03-07T19:36:00.000-08:00Get protest signs and t-shirts at: http://www.cafe...Get protest signs and t-shirts at: http://www.cafepress.com/riverrelic/4192577Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-46870332016630293332008-03-07T18:48:00.000-08:002008-03-07T18:48:00.000-08:00This situation has got some folks in my homeschool...This situation has got some folks in my homeschool group in an uproar. Many of them have preschool children and are just beginning their homeschooling journey...if any were on the fence as to their commitment, I feel that this may just provoke a few to choose the brick & mortar option. <BR/><BR/>We saw your interview in our local paper..the Contra Costa Times.
