13103655DWHEREAS, parents throughout the Commonwealth desire for their children to receive the best education possible; and
WHEREAS, in the early days of the Commonwealth, home education was the main form of education, with many of the nation’s founding fathers receiving the majority of their education at home; and

WHEREAS, home education provides parents with the opportunity to instill desired values in their children and develop positive character traits; and
