How Will the Obama Administration Affect Homeschooling?
Whether you voted for Obama or not, he is now our president elect, which means he will have a huge affect on our lives as citizens and as parents. However, we do not know how his administrationn will affect us as homeschoolers. I went scouring through the internet and posted querries to the twitterverse to see if I could find something that could give us a firm grasp at where our next President stands on Homeschooling.
Unfortunately there is little to no actual information about where he stands on this issue. There are lots of conjectures, opinions, and speculations about how his views on education and his ties with the Teachers Union will influence his stance, but there is no actual facts backing any of these assumptions up. So instead of reposting these opinions, I’ll post the website addresses, and you can decide for yourself if they are correct or not. In the meantime, I will be trying to contact President Obama’s staff and see if I can get a definitive answer from them and will let you know how that goes. And if you, dear reader, find anything that might give us all a better glimpse into our new Presidents view on homeschooling, please let us know with a comment!
