Interesting. I would imagine that the states would do anything to keep home schooled kids from taking state tests.

When the Home schooled kids come out of their acing the tests i wonder how the school boards will spin it.

a federal prohibition in the No Child Left Behind Act that forbids states to require homeschoolers to take the state assessment.

IMHO this is sounding like a controversy designed to make lawyers rich at student expense.  In the first place education is (or should be) a state activity.  We homeschool our kids with materials bought from the State of Texas school system and it's great.  They send us standardized tests that are proctored by a local teacher and that helps us prove to others that we taught our kids right.

This is a fight we must all take seriously, whether you home school or not. When I hear things like this It becomes ever so clear of the attempt to indoctrinate our children. Damn this makes me mad

Homeschool Bump!

I fully expect most states to start requiring that home-schooled kids will have to go to their local government schools when the standardized tests are given and participate. Why? Because the best students in every state are homeschooled and they would dearly LOVE to count those scores in with their mediocre ones. Homeschoolers ought to fight every infringement on their rights as parents to educate their children. The children do NOT belong to the government that allows children to be killed up to and including their birth.

Maybe if HSLDA wasn't legally incompetant, I'd care what they had to say.

They're con artists, pure and simple.

Thanks for posting this. It really shows how desparate and afraid the left and the elitist educrats are. They are constantly being showed up by homeshcooled students and will try anything to stem the tide of people pulling their children out of the government institutions (a.k.a. "public schools").

I'm afraid this is only the beginning.

It shouldn't be such a battle after all the years that homeschoolers have proved themselves. The gov't system just can't stand it that they aren't in complete control of all kids. To start them at age 3 and want to keep them til age 19 isn't going to improve the gov't success with education.

It really boils down to: To whom do the children belong, the parents or the State?
