Home school groups fear federal teaching certificate bill
Frederick County advocates warn a proposed federal education bill could force home and private school teachers to obtain state teaching certificates by July 1, 1998. Critics, including Walkersville group leaders, say the amendment amounts to a government takeover of home schooling, while supporters argue it ensures accountability for federal funds and covers public school teachers only.
