As that number approaches 10% expect a backlash from the Left as fear crescendos in the Teacher’s Unions
Legislation will crop up in state legislatures to ban home schooling citing rare instances where unstable children do harm to themselves and it is blamed on the fact that they are home schooled.
Oh yeah, guaranteed they will come after the independent thinkers. Despots always have.
Make no mistake, teacher’s unions are the embodiment of despotic thought and action. Worshipers of their pagan god, The State.
Actually on May 30th North Carolina passed legislation in the OPPOSITE direction.
“Home School” Redefined
With the signature of Governor Pat McCrory on May 30, 2013, North Carolina enacted Senate Bill 189, which redefines the term “home school” in state law.
The old law defined a home school as “a nonpublic school in which one or more children of not more than two families or households receive academic instruction from parents or legal guardians, or a member of either household.”
Whereas the old law limited the source of instruction for children to parents, legal guardians, or a member of either household in a two-household home school, the new law provides more flexibility and options for families to obtain instruction from other sources. The thrust of the new law is that the home school option for educating children is parent-directed, but parents and others named in the definition do not have to personally teach all of the subjects. While parents, guardians, or a member of either household should provide at least some of the instruction themselves, co-ops, tutors, and specialists for students with learning disabilities are among the additional sources of instruction that may be utilized.
