"If House Bill 2795 passes, it will essentially mean the end of homeschooling in Tennessee. Parents deciding to teach their children at home would have to conform their curriculum to the material taught in public school in order for their children to be able to pass the state tests."   -HSLDA

At the heart of homeschooling is the ability to choose a curriculum.  It allows students to pursue their passions and talents at their own pace, choose materials that suit their learning styles, and to take ownership of their education.  The state proposes to take all that away by way of a manditory test.  And for what?  To measure our progress or lack of it?  We already have tests for that - the ACT and SAT.  

If you homeschool in Tennessee, please stand up for your rights.  Voice your opinion to your representatives, especially the ones on the Education subcommittee.  Call them.  Email them.  Don't know who they are?  Here's a link.
