New Jersey Legislature Turns on Homeschoolers - Blog Entry

That's interesting Andrea. I know that when my dh was an AD eligibility was a concern that was brought up. . .But I imagine that you're right. They're just a little hyperactive! And yes, kara, they are going way too far.

In "fairness" (if I can say it that way--these proposed regulations don't seem to fair to me) with regards to sports. . .standardized tests, portfolios etc. may be used to determine eligibility requirements which has been a concern of sports leagues. But frankly, my kids will just play for the town and outside leagues. Just to play on the sports team is soooooo not worth it.

Wow! Just wow! I hadn't heard this but I am sure that NJ homeschoolers are up in arms and then some. To go from being one of the most lenient to one of the most strict (and ridiculously so) is just unprecedented.

I understand the symbolism. Don't think the rules should be changed but understand the symbolism completely.

I gotta be honest. . .I'm not sure why this is a big deal. The reality is you can't do everything. You can't be everything. The reasons are irrelevant. I understand your line of thought in that somehow it's saying that she's a second class citizen. . .but I guess I think of it differently. I don't like telling my children they can be anything--because in reality there are limits to where they can go. I'd rather tell them that they are gifted in a special way and that they should and can do what they're meant to do. But I liked the blog Pam. ;-)

I too was thinking the same thing. We got married at 21 so we could in theory see a 50th and even 60th anniversary. I'm thinking that if we make it to 75th anniversary. . .we may not remember any of it. ;-)

Swapping seasonal clothing takes me at least two weekends. And I keep a "goodwill bag" next to the dryer. . .and it STILL takes me at least two weekends.

Thanks for sharing. I think a lot of parents feel like it's a vindictive move on the part of a clinic not to continue to treat a child.
