It's fairly popular here too. My sons have home-schooled friends and I've coached baseball for several. They seem to be good, well adjusted kids. My older son will be headed off to college in the fall (he's narrowed it down to Clemson University and The College of Charleston) and all of his home-schooled friends are getting accepted to pretty good colleges too. Admittedly it's a small sampling.

I have no problem with it-and don't think teachers/parents should have to be certified-so long as the kids are learning at an appropriate rate. We have some parents here who do an outstanding job of home-schooling their kids. Then we have some who can't even read the form they have to fill out to withdraw their kids to home-school.

I personally agree with the requirement, as I love my wife very much, but I don't think she has the skills necessary to teach our daughter to a level to meet the State Standards. Arnie has apparently said that he will get the law changed, if the courts don't overturn the original. In other words, he's going to try to make it easier to homeschool your kids. If they aren't in the school system, they don't cost him anything, I guess... Sad state of affairs if you ask me. The last thing that should be cut is always the first on the chopping block.
