California Homeschool Ruling

This past Monday, March 25, the California Court of Appeal granted a motion for rehearing in the 'In re Rachel L.' case, which recently was all over the news for purporting to ban all homeschooling in the state unless the parents held a teaching license qualifying them to teach in California public schools.

The effect of granting a motion to rehear the case is that the prior opinion (that homeschooling in California is illegal) "ain't no good anymore". So to clarify - it is still legal to homeschool in California. That's not to say that it won't be declared illegal as a result of this new hearing, or subsequent hearings, but this time around a lot of good folk, like the Home School Legal Defense Association, will be ready.
