Introduced Session

This joint resolution designates May of each year as "Home-Schooling Month," in order to recognize the efforts of parents who home-school and the achievements of their children, and to promote the many benefits of home-schooling. The federal Department of Education estimated that 1.8 million students were home-schooled in the 2011-2012 school year, continuing a trend of parents increasingly opting to home-school their children. Home-schooling conveys numerous benefits to the parents and children including, but not limited to: · the choice and freedom to study and learn educational material at their own pace; · the opportunity to explore areas of academics in which they are interested or gifted; · the freedom and flexibility for parents to experiment with the curriculum to ensure that their child learns in the most efficient and effective manner; · the ability for parents to shield their children from peer pressure, bullying, and dangerous experimentation; · the ability of home-schooled children to dress, act, and think in the manner they would like without fear of ridicule or a need to fit in at school; · the opportunity for parents to incorporate their religious and spiritual beliefs into the education of their children; and · the opportunity for parents to foster loving ties with their children, create cohesive family units, and provide an education that reflects the unique needs and gifts of their children.
