Hundreds of home schooling parents and their children descended on the Capitol today to defend what they contend is a lifestyle choice.
Rep. Jack HOOGENDYK (R-Kalamazoo) and Rep. Bill HUIZENGA (R-Zeeland) encouraged the crowd to let lawmakers know that efforts to extend the state's reach further into the home-schooled community just weren't going to fly.

18-Year-Old Students and the Law
"Do Not Send My Report Card to My Parents…"
An 18-year-old student walks in your office and demands, “do not send my report cards or other records to my parents.” Meanwhile, the student lives with his or her parent/guardian, who claims the student as a “dependent” for federal income tax purposes, and wishes to continue receiving educational records regarding the student. School officials should be aware of the applicable legal standards which address such situations. Moreover, while it is not necessary to “advertise” the rights of the 18-year-old student, appropriate procedures and/or policy can provide consistent guidance.
