The Ol’ Broad opines on Tennessee’s homeschool diploma battles:

I’ll be honest. I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. If a kid comes to your agency wanting to apply for an academy of one sort or the other, don’t they have to take tests to prove they are competent? A diploma from a home school is just as valid as one from the public school system and probably more so! I know some of the tests I have taken for employment had absolutely nothing to do with the type of job I to which I was applying.

I say scrap the whole public education system, and return to the private type. Parents could keep those tax dollars they pay every year to the gubmint, and apply it towards an education for their kids at the school of their choice. The way it is now, even parents who send their kids to private schools, or who are homeschooling are paying money into the public school system.
