I'm sure at some point, Germany did this too, before they banned it.

Sounds like a GREAT idea.

 

Just because a person can biologically conceive and bear a child does not mean that person is qualified to educate that child.

 

And why societies have a vested interest in making sure children...ALL CHILDREN....are properly educated...by properly QUALIFIED TEACHERS.

 

Otherwise society gets to foot the bill when the immature, uneducated, maladjusted, unqualified, misanthropic PARENT thinks it is his or her RIGHT to turn out equally immature, uneducated, maladjusted, unqualified and misanthropic CITIZENS just like them!

 

And society ends up paying to raise their children on Welfare because they become pregnant at 15...house their offspring in our jails because the only way they know to make a living is through crime...pay for their health problems because they don't know how or that they should even try to take care of themselves....and keep them on unemployment insurance indefinitely because they have no marketable job skills or even the most basic reading and writing and arithmetic skills to even get a menial job! 

 

God forbid!

 

The State HAS a vested interest to prevent such calamities and crimes against children...and the rest of society...and why this law is the 1st step in the right direction!

 

PROVE you are QUALIFIED to educate your own child by first becoming educated and a productive member of society yourself....and no problem: Go educate your children and make them fine young examples of the success you have displayed in your own life.

 

Otherwise, the State should retain its interest in removing from parental care any child whose parents are a threat to the child's future and ultimate well-being, and preventing anyone who thinks they can reproduce from thinking they can teach their children to be just as ignorant as they.

The last thing we need is for the state to come in and control how people educate their children.  I don't know of any immature uneducated maladjusted people that would have the will to educate their own child.  The people who want to homeschool their children tend to be exactly the opposite.

 

The problem is that we have the government revising history to please groups like Muslims and far left who want to see our Christian heritage erased from history.  Children are getting educated more in the history of Islam than they are in US history and the international rankings show our children are less educated in the areas that matter than other nations, especially in math and science.   So to be honest, it is hypocritical for the US government to demand of homeschooling parents, what the government itelf can't provide.

parents should have the right to have their kids educated by a good teacher-that is right. Kids deserve the best education. and thats not from the failure we call public schools. I get so sick and tired of the mentality that parents arnt fit to teach their own kids. Its a lie-parents are the best teachers, have been for centuries, since the dawn of time. Kids learn best, from their parents because the parents, are the ones who they look to the most. The parents, have the right, and should teach their kids. Don't get me wrong-theres some excellent, EXCELLENT public school teachers out there. But, their hands are tied because the system is a failure, theres only so much they can do with a flawed system. The government, needs to stay out of peoples lives. period. they should have no say on whos fit and whos not-I mean look at the government, we have a government teaching that its ok to be gay. that you can get the wrong answer the the math question and still pass. it teaches "politically correct" it pushes tolerance, but no will to succeed. its basically, teaching kids what to think-not how to think. It has communism wrote all over it. The next step, after this, is the government declaring people unfit to teach their own kids because they happen to be christians.

I hate to break this to you, but children are coming out of public schools with those very same problems.

Sounds like you're describing the public school system, but you're not, are you! 

 

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/30/testing-proves-success-of-grads/

 

You aren't demonstrating any critical thinking, or even a credible critique of the program.  But, what you are doing is revealing your own prejudices and bigotry about homeschooling, or maybe even more vaguely, Christians in general.

 

This is what that law is actually designed to do:

 

From the article:  Michael Donnelly, a staff attorney for HSLDA, said his group is asking the sponsors to withdraw the legislation and meet with them to see what legislation, if any, might be needed.

Donnelly said this bill “would not have saved Teddy and it won’t save other children like Teddy. The only thing it does is impose unreasonable and unconstitutional restrictions on parents who want to homeschool their children.”

“We support strengthening systems that prevent child abuse,” he said. “But this bill goes in absolutely the wrong direction. If they want to have a serious discussion, we want to help them in a way that does not unduly burden homeschooling parents and infringe upon their constitutional rights.”

 

These words are extremely self-righteous and unjustifiably judgmental.  ". . .immature, uneducated, maladjusted, unqualified, misanthropic PARENT. . ."

 

You aren't qualified to make that statement about an entire group of people, nor anyone as a matter of fact.

 

This law is being proposed because a mother was in a relationship with a man that was abusive.  When the teachers in the public school found out the child was abused, they intervened and the mother/boyfriend responded by taking their kids out of public schools to homeschool the kids, where they would be free to continue the abuse of the children in private.

 

That law isn't addressing the real problem, which is that the boyfriend should have been imprisoned, and given a restraining order, and the children should have been placed in foster care after the initial abuse occurred.  Homeschooling was not the problem here, the justice system is what failed.
