Home Schooling Controversy

"Home schooling: Parent-teachers aim to prove skeptics wrong" by Dana Hull, 04/20/08 Mercury News

"Home-schoolers cobble together a comprehensive education, one that matches their children's interests and learning styles. They carry the valley's start-up ethos to the kitchen table.

So they were insulted when a California appeals court ruled in February that parents who home-school must have a teaching credential. It suggested, home-schoolers fumed, that parents can't teach."

I think home schooling is an important option and the requirement for a teaching credential basically ridiculous but obviously there needs to be some level of government supervision.
