Please join many homeschoolers and their allies who are
publicly taking a stand for homeschooling. Why is this necessary?
Because
homeschooling freedoms are being threatened by the increase in both
corporately-owned cyber charter schools and the creation of school
district-sponsored programs directed at homeschoolers. Both are
designed to
bring homeschoolers under the control of public schools.
Most homeschoolers understand the difference between enrollment
in taxpayer
funded schools and homeschooling, which requires neither enrollment
nor
taxpayer funding. With the We Stand for Homeschooling (WSFH) Statement
and
Resolution, homeschoolers and their allies can stand together to
clearly
identify these important distinctions.
The WSFH Statement and Resolution distinguishes between homeschoolers
and those who would make a profit from publicly funded, home-based
education. Citing a variety of media reports, the Statement clearly
shows why it is important to take this stand for homeschooling.
No one can or should claim to define homeschooling, and the authors
of WSFH were careful not to do so. However, it is not difficult
to identify what
homeschooling is not. Because cyber charter schools work hard to
be so
visible and so public, they could easily become the standard of
identity
that the general public and legislators expect when they think of
homeschooling. "Blending" homeschooling with public schools
risks the same
outcome.
The WSFH Statement and Resolution was authored by an ad hoc committee.
Joining the committee are many original signers from diverse political,
philosophical, religious, and activist perspectives. All are standing
together to preserve homeschooling and the opportunity for the many
families who want to choose homeschooling, free from the government
regulation and other requirements that come with taxpayer funding.
You are
encouraged to visit
www.westandforhomeschooling.org to view the WSFH
Statement and Resolution and to add your name to those standing
for
homeschooling.
