They care only about the money they are losing ... $8,500 per child per year. If California really cared about the education of their children they would quit wasting time and money on lawyers fighting about homeschoolers and FIX the broken, broken, broken public school system. California schools are among the worse in the Nation and the third most expensive - Washington D.C. and New York are the first and second most expensive and oh by the way among the top failing school systems in the U.S. California doesn’t care about the eduction of any child - whether in private, public or homeschooled environments.
