If you've followed the news lately California courts have made a blanket statement on a court case saying that parents are not legally allowed to homeschool(in California) unless they have a teaching degree.
Joanna and I strongly believe that parents should have the right to educate their children without a teaching degree. So we both signed the HSLDA petition.
Even if you haven't personally chosen to homeschool, it's vitally important that parents retain their rights to educate their own children! Personal convictions aside, home education is statistically a great choice for academic reasons.
As parents, we value our right to make decisions regarding raising and educating our children, and for us, that includes not heading off to a school building for 8 hours every day.
You do not even have to have children or live in California to sign the petition. Please consider.

- What about me? I am married to a beautiful woman who has so generously given me 6 wonderful and usually crazy children. She is quite amazing and home schools the kidos. I teach high school math. What am I currently teaching you ask? well, I am teaching: AP Calculus AB and Advanced Algebra. I enjoy lots of things, here are some of them: playing with my kids, watching movies with my wife, anything athletic, reading, origami, anything computer, and Mathematics. There are a few more things about me, but I'd better keep them to myself. You can't tell someone everything on the first date. wink wink

I agree with you Kaleb. How do I sign the petition. I understand their should be some standards in place so it is not used to just keep kids at home, but parents should retain all rights to educate their children.
Hey Kaleb!
I signed right away. Thanks for putting it up as a link. I will tell Ken and Trish about it tomorrow. I bet they'll sign too.
Amen! It's a violation of rights big time. Could not believe it when I heard it on the news. I am signing ASAP!
