Just when we thought the right to homeschool had been firmly established in California, all of our members in the San Benito High School District received a letter saying, "[U]nder California Law, a home school is not a private school, nor is it a lawful alternative to public school ."
The private school exemption has been used by California homeschoolers since the revival of the movement in the late 70s. Many school districts and the California Department of Education took the same position that the San Benito High School is now taking. But despite years of official opposition in numerous places in a variety of ways, HSLDA successfully advocated for many families whose homeschooling was challenged by school districts and other public agencies.

California now provides home schooling tools.
Good luck trying to make the case it isn’t legal.
It certainly is.
The state has spoken, your children belong to us.
They cannot bear the thought of children not in their grasp being taught real American history and learning concepts like individual freedom and self reliance.
Aha, yew have violated the Lew!
I just read what was on the site.
This whole thing proves that one of two things is true:
1. Representatives of the school district are not very thorough.
2. Representatives of the school district hope you are not very thorough.
It has spoken. Home schooling is legal in California.
Hey, gotta keep that indoctrination going.
Oh my God, I do not miss that friggin’ state!!!
I’d say more but I know this comment would just get deleted but I can just say that I HATE those people!!!
In my one visit to Californicatia, I was not impressed.
And this was supposed to be one of the prettier parts of the state (Anaheim.)
"State" can refer to any overruling governing body, such as a school district. In this case, the San Benito district DID send notices that Homeschooling is not legal. Whether right or wrong, we know what they want.
That was a case in which the State of Oregon (briefly dominated by Ku Klux Klan politicians) tried to force ALL children into Klan dominated gummint skewels. That directly affected Catholic schools which the Klan despised but the SCOTUS went further to empower the parents themselves to decide and that would protect homeschooling.
They really hope you are not well educated enough to know the legalities of homeschooling!
It’s part of the plan. Notice, in spite of USC/UCLA, etc., California has the bulk of H-1B visas “because they can’t get homegrown talent”!
Don’t call them ‘home schools’, call them ‘undocumented schools’!
Just deposit your children in the drop slot at the local Indoctrination Center. You can pick them up when they turn 18 and begin paying for their advanced indoctrination!
“Dont call them home schools, call them undocumented schools!”
Priceless!
The school district is not the State of California.
What they really cannot abide is the loss of all that delicious ADA money.
If I recall correctly the school districts get about 156$ per day when your kid shows up for what they call classes.
Were you aware that in most high schools they no longer even teach American History; instead they have politically correct classes that teach how EVIL the founding fathers were, and that it was only blacks that created science, all modern technology, and even the atom bomb.
