SAT math in our Illinois school district is 4%.
Time to join the movement to secede from Illinois and join Indiana. Everything outside of Chicago should just leave.

FROM TODAY’S FR ITEMS===
“NOT A SINGLE STUDENT CAN READ AT GRADE LEVEL IN 30
ILLINOIS SCHOOLS”
BUDGET /student ranges from $ 8,861 to $56,311
DOES ANYONE WONDER WHY PARENTS ARE HOME SCHOOLING????????
This kind of PERVERSION IN ILLINOIS is DISGUSTING
I think it is to close down a path to competence and independent information. Can’t let the kids off the reservation.
Even though home schooled kids are above public school kids who are failing?
Soon Illinois will give North Korea a run for the money.
too many ILL in Illinois to break the spell on the progressive majority raised in the public school indoctrination system. “Elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences” applies. until the typical member of the voting public can be set free to think for themselves critically and look at and think on where this country is and where it is headed, we, as a republic, will go the way of the republic of Rome.
Time to end government controlled compulsory education.
So, public schools were a gift and now are prison sentences.
Government no longer serves the people.
If this bill passes and becomes law, every Illinois politician involved should be arrested, tried. convicted, and sentenced to hang for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States and the State of Illinois.

Agreed.
The “reporting” should go the other way.
Pennsylvania is worse, as I know from personal experience in the 2010’s. Mandatory work samples, mandatory academic exams (which the homeschooler must pay for), mandatory physical exams of homeschoolers.
In 1960, high school was still real school. I was a freshman in 1960.
Just off the top of my head, the reading list included, but was not limited to:
Great Expectations
Edgar Allen Poe poems
Tom Sawyer
Huckleberry Finn
Gulliver’s Travels
Tale of Two Cities
Little Women
Emily Dickinson poems
The Iliad
The Odyssey
Moby Dick
Paradise Lost
Jane Eyre
Wuthering Heights
That was not the comprehensive list, but it included most of the English books we had to read.
As far as Latin was concerned, we read Caesar’s Gallic Wars, selected Cicero speeches, poems by Livy and Ovid, and, for light fare, a compendium of Latin jokes.
Illinois is run like some kind of backwater province in the Warsaw Pact. States Attorneys regularly let real criminals walk, but this bill would allow them to send mom or dad to the hoosegow for a month if their homeschooling “portfolio” doesn’t meet the approval of the local school district.
When those kids start showing a much higher level of capability than the public school kids, look for increased regulations and punishments of the parents.
This ping list is for articles of interest to homeschoolers. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping List. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added or removed from either list, or both.
The keyword for the FREE REPUBLIC HOMESCHOOLERS’ FORUM is frhf.
There is massive fraud in our voting system in Illinois. There is a reason they don’t want voter ID.
