Trouble for Homeschoolers in California?

Last week's ruling that homeschooling families in California may be breaking the law generated significant hype and concern for the near 200,000 parents whose children are not taught by a credentialed educator.

Governor Schwarzenegger denounced the ruling and promised to protect homeschooling while the HomeSchool Association of California asked members to remain calm.

Debbie Schwarzer, a legal representative for the Association said, "The law, other than this court's interpretation, hasn't changed. The media [appears] to be saying that no one can teach their children without a credential. I am not certain that the holding is that broad, and I also doubt it would survive legal challenge."

What do you think? Does this type of ruling do good or harm education?
