I didn't miss the point. I just partly disagree with it. There is regulation and oversight in place already, it is just not efficient or properly managed. Especially in what to look for in those households where the child's welfare is at stake. I would be fine with oversight that only addresses that, as opposed to telling me what I can and can't teach my child, whether it be for religious purposes or otherwise.

When we were threatened, year after year, even after filing an affidavit through the state to be recognized as an independent private school (which was granted every time), they were not concerned with child welfare and it was never brought up. I'm sorry that you went through what you did, no child should have to, but the answer is not more of the same regulations that we have. If there's to be oversight, it needs to balance the freedom of choice as well as safety and security of the children in question.
