We know this happens, and homeschoolers would do well to consider how this problem should be dealt with so that we can maintain our homeschooling freedoms.
Mississippi’s school chief said he wants homeschooling organizations to help craft ways to ensure homeschooled students are truly being educated.
State Superintendent of Education Hank Bounds called some situations “child abuse.”
“We want you to enjoy the freedom you have for homeschooling,” he said.
“But you must realize we all have this moral and ethical responsibility to deal with those situations where clearly it’s nothing more than a child abuse situation when parents pull their children out of school, say they’re being homeschooled just because parents … don’t want to be involved in the education of their children,” he said.
