"if home schooled children ... were exempted from compulsory education laws by the mere filing of an affidavit ... then there would be potentially thousands of children in California whose education would not be subject to any supervision whatsoever."

ROFLMAO He, he, he, he, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

It's not funny.

What she means of course, is:

"if home schooled children ... were exempted from compulsory education laws by the mere filing of an affidavit ... then there would be potentially thousands of children in California whose education would not be subject to any state supervision and bureaucratic controlwhatsoever."

This, of course, is currently the case.

This is a thinly-disguised attempt to wrest actual control of many thousands of children away from their parents in the state of California.

I guess Delaine Eastin does not think that parental supervision is supervision at all.
"not be subject to any supervision whatsoever."

That is what parents are for, that is what parents do whether education is public school, private school or homeschool. This is a big putdown for all parents.
