NEA Resolution

I am forwarding this for your information. I received this email from a family that is on Brenda Dickinson's board of directors. Their concern is getting the word out to homeschoolers so that they don't relax their guard, and to continue to support Brenda, the only home education lobbyist in Tallahassee, in whatever ways we can. Kim Coley

From the NEA website 2006-2007 Resolutions. This is a NEA resolution, their agenda, not proposed legislation.

B-75. Home Schooling
The National Education Association believes that home schooling programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience. When home schooling occurs, students enrolled must meet all state curricular requirements, including the taking and passing of assessments to ensure adequate academic progress. Home schooling should be limited to the children of the immediate family, with all expenses being borne by the parents/guardians. Instruction should be by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state education licensure agency, and a curriculum approved by the state department of education should be used.
The Association also believes that home-schooled students should not participate in any extracurricular activities in the public schools.
The Association further believes that local public school systems should have the authority to determine grade placement and/or credits earned toward graduation for students entering or re-entering the public school setting from a home school setting. (1988, 2006)
