Summary: According to a recent court ruling, it is now illegal in California for parents to home-school their children without cridentials. The number of home-schooled kids in California alone ranges from 100,000 to 200,000.
Reaction: It's hard to have a strong opinion on this just because I have never been home-schooled so I don't know the benefits first-hand, but I really don't think it should be illegal. It should be left up to the parent and the student whether or no they want to be home-schooled. And besides, if it's illegal, people are going to do it anyways. The only difference now is that it will be an underground thing. And, some kids actually do better in home-schooling than regualr schooling and feel more comfortable and learn more.
