Comments:
	These are my own comments and are not to be taken as legal advice.
	Idaho has almost no restrictions on homeschooling and believes the responsibilty of the education is on the parents. I agree with this policy.To show faith in the parent's ability to care for their own children returns that responsibility back to the parents which, I believe was granted by the Lord Himself. The assumption that the authorities, namely the state, board of education etc., are the only ones who can possibly take care of the educational needs of our own children is a false assumption that hopefully many more states will wake up to. They are our children.
Prayer Concerns:
	Lets pray that other states as well as Idaho has legislation that allows them the freedom to choose what kind of education they want for their own children.
