Texas requires a written curriculum for home schooled kids but doesn't provide for tests that show progress. You almost gotta laugh at the hypocritical left that whines about the tests that are mandated in "no child left behind". Which is it lefties, slipshod home schooling regulations or slipshod national standards? Why not do it the democrat party way and make sure all kids, home schooled and union educated, feel good about themselves and learn how to put a condom on a cucumber and not much else?
