"...if HB 2560 is passed is that some people might violate the compulsory attendance law and use home schooling as a shield."

The statistic .09%(from the PDE) was in one the testimonies as the actual number of the total PA home educated population the state has had to deal with regarding inappropriate education...and that was referenced as being so small that it was a statistical outlier...the % is too small to be considered a problem by any stretch of the imagination.

Not to mention that it costs the commonwealth $5 million to find that 0.09%. It doesn't take long to find out from actual data that homeschooling is not a "statue of liberty for dropouts." That's just emotional scare tactics from people who are afraid of losing control.
