It appears that the California Court ruled that homeschooling may be illegal. This will get to the Supreme Court, guaranteed.

I have too many thoughts on this to put here now, but the ruling is ridiculous for so many reasons. The simplest of which is that, if that were true, it would be illegal for parents to assist in helping their kids with their homework. If I don't have the training to teach my children math during the day, then I certainly lack the same training at night.

The reason we started homeschooling was because we were teaching our kids five hours a night with their homework. We decided to save money and time and get their school work done in fewer hours. We're provided complete curriculum, texts, lesson plans and tests.

The kids can work at their own pace, have become completely self sufficient and are grades above their counterparts in government required standardized testing. Plus there are so many homeschoolers in the area that their social life is full.

California needs to be consumed by a hellish fire.

Today, preferably.
