Homeschooling Woes...

If the State forces the hand of Homeschoolers, just remember:

"The California Department of Education currently allows home schooling as long as parents file paperwork with the state establishing themselves as small private schools, hire credentialed tutors or enroll their children in independent study programs run by charter or private schools or public school districts while still teaching at home.

California does little to enforce those provisions and insists it is the local school districts' responsibility. In addition, state education officials say some parents home school their children without the knowledge of any entity.

Home schoolers and government officials have largely accepted this murky arrangement. "

I don't think there is much to be worried about yet. It would be stupid to start something with the current condition of California students test scores. This has nothing to do with the scores on tests, but how a foster parent treated his kids.

And if things go horribly wrong, just remember it all started with Justice H. Walter Croskey.
