Here's the latest:
It has come to our attention that some political leaders are aggressively planning to attack the home school freedoms we currently enjoy. The attack is based on an unfortunate occurrence in Detroit incorrectly linked with the home schooling community. This morning at 9 AM Rep Chang and Al Williams introduced legislation that will possibly put home education at risk of ending as we know it. The legislation proposed will include the following points:
1. Register
2. two home visits
3. Pay a certified teacher to review our records every two years
4. Submit to Standardized testing
5. Submit curriculum for state approval
6. Parental accreditation. High School diploma or GED will be required.
7. Failure to comply will result in probation
8. A second year of non-compliance will result in a non-exemption status to home school. That family will be forced to send their children to traditional schools
Stephanie Chang believes her role is "to bring Michigan in line with other states regarding common sense, reasonable and honestly quite minimal requirements."Jennifer Siek
