I don't think government intervention is the answer. But there are certainly parents who should NOT be homeschooling. Unfortunately those kids are going to have to suffer later in life for their parents decisions. But ultimately it IS the parents' decision. I know a woman who is so addicted to opiates she can barely function. She pulled her kids out to homeschool them because she couldn't get up to make sure she got them to school on time and the school was getting suspicious something was going on. It's a shame for her kids. I can't imagine how this woman is going to keep up with the necessary reporting that comes with home schooling required by the state.
