Posted in Homeschooling--the Best Choice We Ever Made

I was reading Spunky's most recent entry, and the story that she told about has me steamed!  A mother was forced to have a complete background check, at the cost of $57 of her own money, to volunteer for some pretty mundane things at her child's school.  These are some of the things that I was just beginning to run into when my oldest were in public school.  No parent volunteering to help in their child's school should be forced into background checks like this.  How does this school think they are going to ever get enough volunteers to help with their programs with this policy in place?  And they pass it off as state law, when it was most definitely not. What happened to "supposed cause?" 

For those of you who are homeschool purists, please forgive me for sending those poor kids of mine to ps---I didn't know homeschooling existed back in 1980 when I put my first one in school.  I cried when I sent her that first day, and I cried when I sent the others.  I knew in my heart that it wasn't the right thing to do.  How I wish I had known about hs'ing back then.  Let's hope the mom in this story wises up and gets her child out of that school and back home where he belongs.
