The homeschool freedoms we enjoy today are the result of pioneers that went before us to fight for our right to educate our children in the way that they learn best. Kathi Kearney is one of those pioneers. She shares the history of Maine's current homeschool statute and how it came to be.
“The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home.”
-- David O. McKay

To be free from government control, parent funded homeschooling must be protected.
"Freedom isn’t lost in one fell authoritarian swoop. It happens slowly, and by degrees." -- Maggie McNeely
On the surface, free money sounds great. However, in order to maintain freedom from excessive government oversight and regulation, parent-funded, parent-directed homeschooling must continue to be protected and preserved.
The lines become blurry when homeschoolers take taxpayer money to educate their children at home. In fact, through ESAs homeschooling simply becomes public education at home.
