Yes: This has nothing to do with the childs education , its all about School Boards losing power and money.

And one more important motive: Children educated at home are missing out on the leftist/socialist/internationalist/feminazi/gaystapo indoctrination. They may grow up to be conservatives.

** and force their parents to give the local school board proof the student had received an annual medical examination**

Even public school kids do not need an annual medical exam.

[agrace]

Really. I thought they did.

Coleus,Why is this bad?

[Coleus]

Many parents in NJ would rather home school their children instead of sending them to public schools where they are indoctrinated with left-wing politics, start sex education in the 1st grade, do not teach phonics to read or the rote method of addition and multiplication. A parent should be free to teach their children at home as many others do througout the USA. Many Catholics and Evangelicals home school their kids.

Coleus,I missed where they said you could not home school?

[Lancey Howard]

Well, good luck. You will need it.
New Jersey is one sick, foul toilet, politically - - fully owned and operated by the education mafia. Which means the legislators are controlled by the education mafia. They will, as always, do what they are told to do.
Again, good luck.

They are doing their best to make it as difficult as possible, almost impossible. The South Jersey Child abuse case sparked this. Remember the 19 yr. old who only weighed 45 pounds. They were home schooled and are using that rationale and not the faults of the parents, neighbors, church, and DYFS as the cause. Home schooling did not cause this travesty to the 4 adopted boys bad parents and social services did. You know how govt. works, this will be one bill of many to regulate homeschoolers out of the home and under the auspices of govt. controlled schools.

Thanks for the ping!

[Tired of Taxes]

The main reason I pulled my oldest son from the local NJ public school system after two months of preschool was that I saw that I was dealing with educrats (who obviously cared more about their careers than educating children). Even though we pay a very high school tax, homeschooling was the right option, after all. Now, the very idea that legislation might pass forcing me to deal with those same educrats... it just makes me sick.

I didn't receive the email notices about tomorrow's bill until late tonight (I don't have daily access to the internet anymore). I hope this idea of regulating is dropped.

Early Riser bump.

Little Later bump.

[George from New England]

Is this also a requirement for public school students?

Oh. Yes. In most states this yearly exam is very costly escpecially for ANY kid who wants to participate in sports.

Just another unfunded mandate that drives up the cost of health insurance. Or if you're uninsured, screw you too.

[George from New England]

And when the New Jersey authorities contact my relatives to ask for verification of their school attendance, they would simply reply: "We're home-schooling them. You don't have any jurisdiction here anyway, so get the hell out of my face."

If these children are deductions on IRS 1040 forms they will be expected to be at the address where the deduction is taken.

Big Brother is everywhere! The system knows all.
