A California Appellate Court  has issued an
opinion holding that parents who lack teaching credentials cannot homeschool their children. The ruling is a blow to the approximately 150,000 California families who educate their children at home outside of the public or private school system.

          The Court ruled “Parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children. Parents who fail to [comply with school enrollment laws] may be subject to a criminal complaint against them, found guilty of an infraction, and subject to imposition of fines or an order to complete a parent education and counseling program.”
