They are NOT regulating homeschooling. Re0read the article. The parents are REFUSING the LAW in their state that requires testing.

Great! BUT that is NOT what is in place in the state in the thread. What the law says NOW is what must be upheld.

Ditto to that nmh. As a homeschooler I don't understand the uproar about this. These people are knowingly breaking the law. What if we all did that? There are other ways to go about getting laws changed...this family sounds pretty petty. I guess they think it's okay to raise the kids to be lawbreakers?

Or perhaps they are raising people who will defend their rights as adults. I believe the law says they have a choice whether to test, or choose between two toher requirements.

Now, of course we do not know if they have complied with any of those laws , from this article. I still say this is an example of social workers on a power binge. I therefore will side with the family , until I know the rest, based upon what I know of the social workers previous behavior in this case.
