I know there was quite a response on the Attachment Parenting tribe, but I don't remember much of a response here, oddly enough. Maybe everyone's so aware (hehe...sorry, had to say it!) that they know about the buzz from homeschooling advocates all over CA and the US and that it doesn't sound like the law is going to pass...thank God!
The educational system in the US, at least in my opinion, has been in abismal shape for years. I went into public school in the 80s when it seemed like all the old teachers from the 60s and 70s were retiring or just getting "burnt out" or simply just didn't care anymore. I remember my 5th grade teacher specifically.....yeesh! No life in that man at ALL!
It's a matter of priorties for us as a country: education or war, c'mon!

There was also a good link to a homeschooling program out of VT that operates like a "distance learning" program. Oak Meadow School I think was the name. Here's the link:
