Parents and teachers alike were stating that the middle school children were not required to write! I thought I was hearing things, but there was virtually no disagreement on that point. Now I am not a perfect homeschooling "teacher" but my children do write, a lot. Do they want us to take the chance...that the kids will end up in a school where much writing is required or little? Until they can guarantee WHAT they are requiring, why should any of us take that chance? Can I apply Judith Days standard to that particular English class? The old saying rings true...what is good for the goose is good for the gander!

Homeschoolers are better educated than their government school counterparts all research has proven. Could it be "money" for the state? Or perhaps, religous discrimination? Hmm....
