Parents needing "oversight" by a government agency. A concept beyond frightening. The status of a child's education has nothing to do with it.
Right you are. This is what's behind the PR push in AZ:
B-67. Home Schooling. "The National Education Association believes that home schooling programs cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience. When home schooling occurs, students enrolled must meet all state requirements. Home schooling should be limited to the children of the immediate family, with all expenses being borne by the parents/guardians. Instruction should be by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state education licensure agency, and a curriculum approved by the state department of education should be used.[italics mine] The Association also believes that home-schooled students should not participate in any extracurricular activities in the public schools."
See, it's all about power and control, and making sure the parents don't have any. As far as testing goes for public-schooled children, here's another "resolution" adopted by the NEA:
B-55. Standardized Testing of Students. "The Association opposes the use of standardized tests when:
1)Used as the criterion for the reduction or withholding of any educational funding
2)Results are used to compare students, teachers, programs, schools, communities, and states."
The NEA doesn't want to be held accountable, but thinks itself perfectly capable of setting the standards for home-schooling parents...
