HE&OS is not going to become a NC-centric blog, so I’ve hesitated to post too much on the current proposal to regulate home education. But it seems that every paper in the South has picked up the story<\/a>. Sometime commenter Hal Young is quoted at the end of this version.<\/p>\n

The law requires home-schooled students to be tested, but reporting is effectively voluntary unless there is a complaint. Resulting variations in the quality of education that children receive are well known among college admissions officers. Given the academic demands on this generation, more vigilance would be wise, and Easley’s proposed reorganization would at least make it possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think the next to the last paragraph holds the key to the problem as they see it. Here’s an easy fix…put more money into the budget for those home visits and other oversight, precautionary and regulatory efforts already in place within the guidelines we follow with the DNPE.

I know the ps aren’t getting theirs, but if we were that worried about them, our children would still be attending their schools.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
