Is Homeschooling the Best Option for Your Kids? New book explores why home education is on the rise

LONGWOOD, FL-On November 2, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (California) ruled that parents do not have the right to preview or object to sexual or psychological material presented in school. In this particular case, elementary school children (ages 7 to 10) were given a questionnaire to rate themselves based on their emotions and feelings about activities of a sexual nature.
