Not in Florida. We had our law in 1984, and Christians had been homeschooling off the grid or through private schools long before the law was passed. By 1991, we had our own full-time lobbyist (Home Education Foundation) in Tallahassee.
Thanks for the clarification. I seem to recall good news about Florida in the foggy recesses of my brain.
For along time, private Christian schools were feeling $$$ threatened by homeschooling. Then they figured out how to do homeschool support actitivities. No need for bricks and teachers, families would provide that. :-)
We got our Supreme Court rulings in Michigan in '93, I think. An attempt to 'simplify' the law was passed and then majorly revised in '96. Smooth sailing since then.
Now I'm an old lady in NC. lol This is all, blessedly, ancient history. The news stories about public schools now are full of physical and sexual violence like we never fathomed in the 80's. I'm glad my kids are grown. I'm praying for courage to start the whole thing over with grandchildren.
