PA law requires the homeschooling parent to be a high school graduate, and affirm on the notarized affidavit that he or she has not been convicted of any of various moral turpitude offenses in the past 5 years. The student must have received all mandated health services (medical and dental exams). The parent must keep a log of 900 hours of study. The parent must submit a list of academic objectives to the superintendent of schools. Get the student evaluated by a professional every year (about $100). Bring the evaluator’s report, log, medical documentation, and next year’s objectives and affidavit to the superintendent of schools, for approval and “permission,” ie absence of an objection, if you’re lucky.

Also, superintendent’s approval on a work permit is still required even though school attendance is not, at 17.

If that doesn’t make you mad...

Registration.

Then mandates.

Then taxation.

Then banning.

Stop them before registration.

Camel’s nose. Cut it off before it gets under the tent.

Home-schooled students must receive an education equivalent to public schooling, according to current Illinois state law.

They sat that bar way too low didn't they?

They are just trying to find out how many young people are going without the communist indoctrination.

They will know who has to be punished in the future.

[MrB]

didn’t think registering home-schooled students would solve the problem of parents who might try to avoid educating their children by using home schooling as a cover.

Really? Is this REALLY a problem? Show me some empirical evidence!

First it was "inadequate education", but then the test scores came out.
Next it was "socialization", then the big wave of homeschoolers as employees and citizens put the lie to this.

Then, they finally started telling the truth -
homeschoolers would not be taught the values of our "modern culture", ie, secular humanism.
On this last point - "guilty" as charged.

No problem.

Just teach your kids a couple new swear words or combinations each day; teach them how to put a condom on a banana; teach them a new perversion each week and call it a legitimate form of love; teach them to pray in Arabic; read Karl Marx to them and call America a racist death camp; beat them up once in awhile and, finally, mug them for their pocket change.

No problem - education equivalent to public schools.
