Home Schooling about to end?

So I hear home schooling is being threatened by the school system. As more and more concerned parents are pulling their children out of the school system, the schools are starting to feel the pinch. Now they want parents of home schooled children to have teaching credentials.

Schools are just not what they used to be thanks in park to our production line education process. Also called No Child Left Behind. Heard'em in, move'm out. Now the school system wants home schooling banned forcing these kids into the production line.

When faced with all the studies showing home schooled kids are on average 2 grades ahead of production line students, their reply was "It's irrelevant." Seeing all those lost funding dollars ever increasing has them upset.
