8. This bill is a knee-jerk reaction to the highly publicized case in Collingswood where the Jackson family allegedly starved their children. If true, the blame lies with DYFS. They were in the family's home over 30 times and never noticed a nutrition problem. DYFS should be punished, not homeschoolers. There is absolutely no evidence that homeschool parents are more likely to neglect their children than anyone else.

My nomination for understatement of the day... or more.

I am not a homeschooling mom (single, have to work, I'm extremely jealous of those that are able and do), but I am a supplement-schooling mom (provide in-addition-to public school) and my kids are in a magnet program.

That said, I just wanted to take this opportunity to applaud all of you for everything you do for your children and encourage you to not give up the fight for that right (which it IS a right to raise your own children.) Stand tall!
