“It's better for 14 year olds to gain skills to prepare for a future career and homeschooling should be protected”

“Home schooling is the alternative method of education that gives children a choice if the school system fails a student. 14 year olds should be able to have a light work employment which gives them work expirernece while giving a wage.”

“Not everyone will want to attend licensed schools So far as the home schooling is under curriculum and there is testing Then what is the issue?”
