Sway...yeah...but when you read through the "Ace" links you find that you still have to jump thorugh hoops to home school in California and that the standard Calvert schoold typoe correspondence courses many sailors use may not be acceptable for use at home. Pretty intrusive! There is certainly a state interest in seeing that all children get the right education to become good citizens but simple grade level testing should be sufficient to insure that that is happening with a given child...rather than a set of hoops and arbitrary local standards parents must jump through or meet.
