If a little-known regional plan proceeds, teachers in Pennsylvania and nearby states soon might find it easier to get a teaching job in a different state.
A committee of education and state representatives from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., are working on a proposal that would allow teachers to seek a regional license honored in those areas.

Sounds like a plan to subvert states rights, IMHO.

Regional teaching licenses could follow the example of college sports.
Some schools could have Division 1A certification and become part of the SEC, Big 10, or Atlantic conference.

The NEA started in Pennsylvania. Indeed this is a power play.

A seamless web of teaching credentials for the whole country including a federal curriculum for all.

The funny thing is that Pennsylvania high school diplomas aren't accredited like other states. As a home educator I have to jump through myriad hoops for the school district even if I am using a regionally accredited program for my children.
Another interesting development is that as the state assessment scores have risen the nationally standardized scores have dropped.

Too bad you couldn't move to NJ. It's easy for people to homeschool here.
Is there any action in the legislature to reintroduce the homeschooling bill that failed in the last session?
