In the past year, I have seen homeschooling used as a "treatment" for social troubles. And by that I mean, homeschooling was being used as a disciplinary threat—the mother of all time-outs if the kid didn't straighten up.
sen10tious, If Ds starts acting up, I threaten him with Out of School suspension. This usually works, since we homeschool!!  JUST KIDDING!!!
narnia, KS was the only state I wouldn't homeschool in. We homeschooled in OK and MO for years. SRS is just strange there. Someone who knew the system once told me that the neglect/abuse laws in KS were so broad that just about anything could be classified as neglect or abuse. KS has also privatized their foster care.
If kids end up in foster care there is no telling if they will ever get home.
Here's why. The foster care corporation decides when or if the kids go home. The company is getting paid by the state to take care of the foster kids. Does this sound strange to you? It did to me. In other words, as long as they have kids in their system, they are making money on them.
