There has to be more to this story. it looks to me like the older daughter has problems with the mother. She than acts out by complaining about the quality of the education her siblings receive.
Here is something for her to think about. LAUSD (yes I know she is in San Diego) has, at the latest figures a 50% drop out rate and 80% of the students are below the 20th percentile on testing.
Hundreds of thousands in LA are getting the same or worse education as her siblings.,
Then you have the Obama's trying to propagandize the children about food, the climate and politics. Government education is about government, not education.
"Her mother, Vicky Tate, refused to talk for this story. The battle over how to educate the younger kids has driven a wedge through their family — and sent Laura Tate on a campaign.
Convinced that her younger brothers and sister need a better education, Tate phoned a long list of local legislators, state agencies and legal groups this fall, seeking their help and asking for options. But as Tate quickly found out, California does little to regulate home schooling.
Unlike several other states, California imposes no tests to check how home-schoolers are faring. It does not examine student work or ask teachers to vouch for how home-schoolers are doing. And parents don't have to show the state their lessons. While public schools have been increasingly bound by testing and data, home schooling in California has escaped the educational mania for public accountability."
The Tates are now living the bitter debate over how to regulate home schooling, a question bound up in the complicated calculus of how to balance the rights of parents, their children and the state."
Why should Mrs. Tate trust government education for her children?
