Home schools educate children for free. They do a better job--with no state oversight--than any other form of education. It's just hard to compete with a motivated, focused tutor who may have only one or two children. Any issues that could possibly arise over any particular situation are already...

For what purpose, may I ask would the Department of Education need to know the names and ages of children who are being taught by their parents at home? To check and see if the homeschooled kids are at home? This is gateway legislation to pave the way for the ultimate goal: to get all children under...

Please don’t support bills fueled by the mutation of a single interlocal agreement between Detroit Public Schools and Eastern Michigan University. From this single LOCAL agreement the legislation authorizes the type of unrepresentative command and control structures we fight to prevent when the...

Be careful of how you interpret the evaluation of cost and results of education spending.

I applaud the effort and pray the bill is eventually signed into law. The students of Detroit deserve the same access to a quality education as their suburban counterparts. With the magnitude of issues that accompanies each of the students in a classroom, few teachers can handle 35-40 different personalities...

How about making sure these kids learn to read and write fluently in ENGLISH??? If they cant use their own language appropriately, the certainly dont need to waste time and tax dollars learning a foreign language!
