I’m sorry to tell you this, but that “Ace” is no ace!
He is quoting the WRONG part of the education code that applies to homeschoolers. We do NOT homeschool under the code dealing with tutors.
I have filed in California for nine years. I have NEVER done a criminal background check on myself, or have had to give my childs name. Homeschooling takes place under the private school laws. They are DIFFERENT from the tutor laws.
Please, I have done homeschooling here in California. If you do not personally file here and understand the law, don’t post that you do understand. It is getting quite tiring if all the false information.
It quite clearly says, in that section, that the criminal background check is for those who are "employed"...and it then goes on to lay out "employed" as several categories of full-time, part-time, etc., but all are PAID.
If you look at the FAQ of the website that he cites (the state education website), it even answers that homeschoolers operate under that section.
