A mental health law professor from the University of Connecticut added that parents should only be allowed to homeschool their children upon approval of “individualized education plans and adequate progress as documented in progress reports.” Then things get even more intrusive. A related proposal in an earlier Connecticut plan required all homeschooled children ages 12, 14 and 17 to “undergo a behavioral health assessment.” The group noted the state’s plan included “a review of physical and mental health, intelligence, school performance, employment, level of function in different domains including family situation, and behavior in the community.” “The bill states that the results of the assessments are to be disclosed only to the child’s parent or guardian, but that the health-care provider must submit a form to the state Board of Education verifying that the child has received the assessment.” What would we ever do without the state’s unwarranted invasion into every aspect of family life?
