From Rep. Paul Opsommer's blog:
"the Michigan State Board of Education that could require home schooled students to register with the state or report to the government in other ways. The proposals were discussed at the board's most recent meeting, with some members stating that they did not think that students enrolling in a mandatory tracking system would be an infringement on their rights, and also saying that, "If we are in charge of education we ought to be involved in all education."Time to update my last letter with answers to the new claims and spend some stamps. I suggest that if you live in Michigan and homeschooling is of interest to you, that you weigh in, too.

How frightening!!
That's a helluva power trip, there!
Isn't it, though -- a terrifying power trip. As Rod says:
ReplyDeleteIn a way they are declaring that they haven't got enough to keep themselves busy, and when you think about the state of public education, that's just truly bizarre.... in other words "get a handle on the stuff that is under your jurisdiction before you decide you need a handle on the stuff that is under mine"
