Press Release Summary: Adam Caller, founder of Tutors International, a leading
provider of full-time live-in tutors for home schooled children asserts that the
second appellate court of Los Angeles has failed once again to address the core
issue of the quality of home education.

Press Release Body: Tutors International founder Adam Caller has released a
statement in reaction to the reversal of the California State ruling regarding the
credentialed status of parents wishing to home school their children. Tutors
International provides fully-credentialed full-time private tutors to families
wishing to educate their children outside of the state system. For more information,

Following widespread condemnation of the decision in February to force all home
schooling parents to gain credentialed status, the Second District appellate court
in Los Angeles recently overturned that ruling. The court found that, just like
private schools, individual parents are exempt from the requirement to have been
awarded credentialed status by the state.

"Even though the court's decision was met by such widely publicized joy in the
home-schooling community, I was dismayed to read about this," Adam said. "Not
because of the decision in and of itself, but because it demonstrates to me that the
most important issue relating to this entire subject is not being addressed; that of
the quality of the education the child receives. Whether the home educator is
credentialed or not is irrelevant compared to whether the education being received
is of a measurably high standard. This would be achieved by a standardized
curriculum, to ensure that the child is not being disadvantaged by a home education.
When the California State and home-schooling community begin to address this issue,
I think that I will share some of that joy and sense of relief."
