New Driver's Law Affects Home Study Programs |
|
Two distinctly different sections of the Georgia code recently collided in an effort to link compulsory school attendance with driving privileges. Home study parents began receiving conflicting information from their counties last year. Fulton County sent out information which included an attendance form and instructions which assumed that the parent was the homestudy supervisor responsible for signing the attendance form and having it notarized. Dekalb County sent already filled out and notarized attendance forms.

New Drivers License Hurdles for Homeschoolers in Georgia |
|
Georgia students, including homeschoolers, are no longer allowed to drive if they don't remain in school until they're 18. Because of the universal desire and often the genuine need among students to drive, this new law has effectively raised Georgia's compulsory attendance age to 18 and revoked important parental rights.
