...no matter what laws what the legislature creates, we have a constitutional right to homeschool. It's just that if they pass SB268 as it stands, it will make it hard for parents of 16- and 17-year-olds to determine how to exercise that right. Amending RSA 193-A to include children ages 16 & 17 solves that problem, and reduces the likelihood of litigation between parents and districts as parents try to exercise their constitutional rights. This does not mean I support amending 193-A over the status quo, but sometimes it helps to know what rights you have and where they come from. We're not entirely at the mercy of the legislature.
