I wouldn't normally ask this....

But please check out this page at the Homeschool Legal Defense Association and click on the red box to sign their petition. The courts in Los Angeles have rendered a ruling that finds homeschooling to be illegal (there is a link to the court opinion at the bottom of the page above if you want to read it yourself). Currently homeschoolers in California can either register with the state as a private school or can enroll in a public charter school. This ruling finds that these families are violating the law if the child is not being taught by a credentialed tutor. If this ruling stands, California will have the most regressive laws in the nation vis a vis homeschooling.
