Posted in Important News For Homeschoolers
The NEA is once again trying to interfere with homeschooler's rights. Do you want the freedom to continue homeschooling? Do you want to continue being allowed to choose your curriculum? Do you want to continue without having to hire a certified teacher? Then scroll down to the petition link below. If you want to see the NEA proposal, read everything.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.
There's an online petition so you can let your voice be heard if you'd like. Here's the link:
