--- "Illinois Bill Would Let Failing School System Send Homeschooling Parents To Jail"

Already been done in Germany, as the neo-fascists pursue parents across borders "to teach them" a lesson.

As Mussolini taught, everything in the state and nothing outside the state. Especially children!

Just saw an article here that there are NO students who are at grade level in reading in 30 Illinois schools.

You really want to talk about who should be jailed? Hmmm?

Since there is a penalty involved, this flies in the face of the 5th Amendment.
Just
Don’t
Comply

The local county school system allowed my friend’s boy who had been attacked and beaten by a gang of blacks to attend online. He graduated 18 months early with honors. I don’t know the details, but it wasn’t apparently a problem.

He was extremely undersized for his age and had RED hair. I ran into him the other day. Six-two and filling out nicely. He is the youngest licensed electrician his company has ever had and is running their largest crew.

“War and Peace”, gene splicing, and calculus are not fit subject material for 8th graders. Off to jail for you!

My former neighbor Sylvia had to help her grandchildren with their lessons during the Covid scare.

She was not pleased to have been put in that situation.

It should be remembered that many parents are not fit to homeschool.

Making the public schools fit for purpose is important.

This is particularly egregious and hypocritical from a school systen whose schools are failing to educate.

“Only 16 percent of black eighth-graders in Illinois are proficient at reading”

I remember seeing a sign in SW DC listing the books a (black) high school student was expected to read in the 1960s. It was quite an impressive list.

So do these parents teaching these kids get sent to jail? No.

I am so happy to have got out of Illinois in 1998 after spending 37 years there. Although I can say I enjoyed my time in Chicago burbs there. Made excellent living, and Chicagoland had amazing restaurants, golf courses, museums, and ski clubs. I belonged to 3 different ski clubs which was so much fun times and met my wife on one of the clubs.

“This is particularly egregious and hypocritical from a school systen whose schools are failing to educate.”

The probable purpose is to make the scores of the now obviously awful schools rise by coercing homeschooling parents to send their competent kids to the schools.

America’s education standards have been driven into the dirt by public schools, which were introduced by the Progressivist movement. We don’t need these schools anymore—we owe our children better.
