Prior to the law’s implementation, parents could fill out a form saying that immunizations violated their personal beliefs and avoid vaccinating their kids. Now, parents must get a doctor’s note saying they have a medical reason not to be vaccinated.
In the school year that ended in June, there were 6,741 home-schooled kindergartners without their shots in California, compared with 1,880 in the 2016-17 school year, according to state data. Overall, 1.2% of the state’s kindergartners were home-schooled and unvaccinated in the last school year, according to state data. Lee opted for home schooling because of an experience with her older child a decade ago.
Nationally, the number of home-schooled students has been increasing for years. Between 1999 and 2012, the number of home-schooled children in the U.S. increased from 850,000 to 1.8 million, essentially doubling the number of home-schooled kids nationwide, according to a 2017 report from the U.S. Department of Education.
Monique Labarre, who runs a Facebook group for home-schooling families in San Diego, said that most parents are primarily concerned with academic standards, often for their children who are gifted or have special needs. Parents’ top reasons for choosing home schooling are required immunizations, along with concerns about school safety and social issues such as cyberbullying, she said.
“The vaccination piece is more a symptom than a cause,” Russin said. “People who distrust [the government], they don’t want their kids having a standardized education, they’re also not going to want standardized medication — and they’re not going to listen to authorities about either.”
Let's get dumber and put the rest of the population at risk with this stupid tactic.
If parents are ever forced(at gun point) to vaccinate children and they turn to the second amendment - I would not blame them....
And as a result diseases that were once eradicated are making a comeback
May Almighty God protect them from the vile devils in California government ...
when do you suggest the police break down front doors and stick a needle in a kids arm ? Asking for a friend.
Good. Have fun home schooling. Most that I know who do it don’t have to do anytjing, but log them in to curriculum online anyway.
The same parents who are vaccinated :/ also how are they teaching their kids science? Do they tell their kids just learn this thing about vaccines to pass the test but vaccines is and modern medicine is all lie.
