Parents may legally home-school their children in California even if they lack a teaching credential, a state appellate court ruled today. The decision is a reversal of the court's earlier position, which effectively prohibited home schooling in the state and sent shock waves of fear throughout the state's estimated 166,000 home-schoolers.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had vowed to allow home schooling through legislation if the court did not act, praised the ruling.

 

 

This is just one more example showing that there are opponents to the home schooling movement and there may come a time when you have to fight for what is right and for what you believe in. 

Based on this I recommend that any home schooling parents out there pay close attention to the home schooling laws in you particular areas.
