Ms. Eastin and the peoples republic of Kalifornistan forget that public schools are only to serve at the convenience of the parents. It's a little bit of economics only. It's SUPPOSED to be less expensive if parents pool their resources in a common school for all their children. This has gotten turned around and Ms. Eastin and the rest of the corporatists are laboring under the delusion that the children are the property of the schools.
We need some decisive re-education of our education departmants.

Right on "target" so to speak. Get those kids back to the place where highschool graduation is pushing 51%! Yeah public schools! /sarcasm.

A good start
Or how about a "don't even think about it" freep at every capitol in the country?

I guess Ms. Delaine Eastin is endorsing that the state use its monopoly on the use of legal force to enforce her interpretation of the law.
"Lets kill the parents and have the state take the children."

Delaine Eastin is a fascist. Let her and her bureaucrats try to make martyrs of homeschoolers. Its the beginning of the end of the public school monopoly in California.

"Lets kill the parents and have the state take the children."Won't happen. Parents provide tax revenues, children don't. Besides, it's more fun to take the children away from the parents while the parents are able to see it happen.
In the end, they kill the CHILDREN--or at least, their minds.

Do all private schools in CA have credentialed teachers? Does anything in the state law say that private schools must have credentialed teachers? Tell her to point out where in the law does it say that private schools must have credentialed teachers or a certain number of students. If she can't, then she doesn't know what she's talking about.

...and armed with the three (or four?) legal victories they have already won in lower level California courts Congressman BB -- Do you have a link to these decisions?

"
The classic "home school" - where children are taught by their parent who does not have a teaching credential - is not a legal means of complying with the compulsory education law, which means that home-schooled children are truant."This is the ultimate in governmental arrogance! Especially since obtaining the "teaching credential" for elementary schooling entails all the rigorousness of collecting cereal box tops!
To: ladylib
"Do all private schools in CA have credentialed teachers?"A great many public school classrooms don't even have credentialed teachers in CA. So called "Emergency Credentials" are passed out like candy and it takes little more than a sweet tooth to qualify for one.
Ms. Eastin has bit off more than she can chew. She's been away from school too long if she thinks she can take on a sizable army of irate moms.

Hey, I just noticed something in Eastin's letter...
"The classic "home school" - where children are taught by their parent who does not have a teaching credential - is not a legal means of complying..."
Okay, what about the classic private school, where children are taught by teachers who do not have a teaching credential?
To: ladylib
I think you and I are thinking the same thing. Didn't see your post.
Eastin is playing with fire.

Home schoolers are the most effective grass roots political operatives in the country. They have beat the snot out of all comers. It will be interesting to see how long it takes this child-hating and freedom-hating harpy to back down.
If Simon has any brains, he will come out swinging at Gray Dufus over these Nazi tactics against good, tax paying California citizens. Simon ought to call these Nazi tactics, too. That's what they are.
