This will mean that home education would be just another version of the government and NEA's definition of education and schooling. Recently, I was asked to give my opinion on ways to improve the image of home education and in the process gain the support of more people. For years now, families have been forced by threats of fines and imprisonment to submit to compulsory attendance laws. Curricula and standards are defined by the state. Ask any parent what they want for their child and most will include a desire for a good education.
Natural law designates the parent as a child's primary caregiver and teacher.
It is long past the time for this to be once again considered the standard against which all other things are measured. It is long past the time for every parent to believe in their abilities to make the right decisions for their children, and for those decisions to be respected and honored. It is long past the time for families to take back the control of their lives and all aspects of it. How to persuade parents they are capable of not only raising their children but are the most qualified to do so. When comparing numbers of families educating at home to families utilizing the government schools, the numbers are staggering.
