Is Homeschooling Really At Risk? It is tempting to think the success and growth of homeschooling have rendered it immune to the kind of threats faced over the last 40-50 years. However, many homeschool advocates and observers assert we are now facing the greatest threat we have yet encountered: a growing expectation for all education options to be funded by the government.
Homeschool Is Distinct. Historically, the homeschool movement nationwide has been unified by the priority of achieving independence and freedom from government systems, not seeking taxpayer support or the obligations that it would entail.
AFHE’s Mission & History. Arizona Families for Home Education has been actively supporting and advocating on behalf of home educating families since 1983, with a particular focus on achieving maximum freedom from the government’s educational system.
We believe that Proposition 139 harms parents and children.
No matter the changes that have altered the educational landscape over the years, AFHE has been very consistent in expressing how crucial it is to clearly distinguish between educational classifications. We will continue to educate parents, legislators, and the media about the meaning behind the terminology they are using.
There are six educational classifications in Arizona: public school, charter school, virtual charter school, private school, empowerment scholarship account (ESA), and homeschooling. Each classification has a legal definition within the Arizona Revised Statutes.
The inclination of Legislatures is to limit parental rights in the area of homeschooling. We cannot let this happen. Thanks to Arizona Families for Home Education you have the best homeschool law in the nation. This is not only my opinion, but is also the opinion of Mike Smith, president of the Home School Legal Defense Association.
It’s election season. And, that means we are all bombarded with information. How do you plan to cast an informed vote?
