I have stated elsewhere that I am an outsider who is trying to make sense out of California homeschooling code. Based on my examination of this code along with my discussion with sitetest, the problem with this code is that it is poorly written. The problem with poorly written code is that people can read anything that they want to into it - including the judges.
Then why do you mix up the tutoring rules with the private school rules?
It does not clarify but only muddies the waters. Tutors have entirely different standards which homeschoolers do NOT have a requirement to meet. Period.
