State must enforce law against home-schooling

"obtaining the "teaching credential" for elementary schooling entails all the rigorousness of collecting cereal box tops..."

Now, now. It's actually quite rigorous: It requires mastery of Political Correctness, demonstration of sufficient Sensitivity, celebration of Diversity, elimination of all Judgmentalism, unquestioning subjugation to the State above all, obedience to the NEA, denigration of Individualism, and celebration of the Group. Plus, of course, reflex-level indoctrination in the whole universe of leftist ideologies: Gaea genuflection, gender bending, wealth-is-murder-ism, global warming orthodoxy, socialism, collectivism...

Really, I doubt you or I have what it takes to be a credentialed teacher... < /sarcasm>

And "fisting for fifth-graders".
Don't forget fisting.

Yeah, teaching in government schools these days requires some pretty broad horizons indeed.

And "fisting for fifth-graders". Don't forget fisting.

Fifth grade is way to late. This should be taught earlier. That's why they call the first year of primary school "fist grade".

No need for that, they have the Child Protective Services to do their dirty work. They just wool them around in court until they run out of money.

--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.--

That is true, but for a different reason than you pose. A non credentialed teacher does not gain tenure and they work for beginning wages.

You know that the other side is LOSING BIG TIME, when they attempt to resort to legalisms to suppress competition.

Their illusions are wearing ever thinner. How long before they all collapse and the realities they've been trying to hide come screaming to the fore front? ...Further accelerating the collapse.

The classic "home school" - where children are taught by their parent who does not have a teaching credential

Let's dumb down the parents just like weve taken otherwise reasonably intelligent individuals and mind numbed them throught the credentialing process.

They want to ensure a hidden-agenda. Probably require accredited parents teach a government approved curriculum. You know, maintain the status quo. ...Maintain the boogie men like global warming will kill us all and guns cause crime. Have to keep justifying all those government jobs.

Fortunately, there's a definite up-swing in increasing numbers of people identifying government officials for what they are--parasites. What little cream-of-the-crop government officials there is, as the collapse becomes more acute the cream will rise to the top. You won't need a magnifying glass to spot the few good ones -- spot the cream of the crop. For rising to the top will illuminate the shinning stars rising above the collapse.

Be assured that the department has not changed its position or embarked on a "campaign" to root out home-schoolers.

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.

In the meantime, the department and I must adhere to and enforce the compulsory education laws currently on the books.

Just doing their job -- enforcing bad law. ...Enforcing unconstitutional law. That was how the majority of low level nazi minions went about doing their jobs -- enforcing bad law.

I read in a report somewhere that the last time Eastin was in a classroom as a teacher, it was in '78 or '79, when Disco was king. She is so clueless it's not even funny. Her "panel" on homosexuality and how to handle it in the classroom was heavy with gays and those sympathetic to it. If she had any balls, she would squelch the unions, enforce the law that the people passed about illegals getting educational benefits, and really work to throw out the junk so that public education can become something noteworthy again. But since she's Davis's lapdog, the chances of that occurring will be equal to that of Osama bin Laden showing up to kiss Bush's butt at high noon tomorrow on the White House lawn.

If she really wanted to do teachers a favor, she'd get off our back and let us do our frigging job!

Big bump. President nitwit.

[nomad]

Damn straight! If any State tried that kind of Big Brother crap on us, we would be out in a heart beat!
