DREAM ON ‘TIL YOUR DREAM COMES TRUE
Hope springs eternal in the edu-crat breast:
In Illinois, home schools are not regulated by the state because they are classified similarly to private schools.
Still, state officials encourage home-school families to link up with districts to align their curriculum “in case the parent wants to re-enroll their child into the regular mainstream,” said Harry Blackburn, legal counsel for the Illinois State Board of Education. “[But] the state hasn’t been given the mandate and the authority to supervise these schools.”
Encourage? Yeah– that’ll work.
