How Appealing

“Homeschooling OK, appeals court says”: Today in The San Francisco Chronicle, Bob Egelko has an article that begins, “A state appeals court lifted the cloud it had cast on the homeschooling of 166,000 California children and ruled Friday that parents have a right to educate their children at home even if they lack a teaching credential.”

And The Los Angeles Times reports today that “Parents may home-school children without teaching credential, California court says; Gov. Schwarzenegger praises the reversal by the 2nd District Court of Appeal as a victory for students and parental rights.”
