Standardized tests are still required of home school students. There has to be some measure.

If the purpose of such testing is to FORCE homeschoolers to knuckle under to Common Core then the testing is constitutionally suspect. SCOTUS ruled 7-2 in the 1920s (Pearce vs. Society of Sisters) that education was uniquely the province of the parents and that only basic education, (reading, writing and 'rithmetic and a little bit more) could be required by the gummint.

Parents willing to take responsibility for the education of their own kids ought not to be required to teach Common Core propaganda.
