In this dependency case (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 300), we consider the question
whether parents can legally “home school” their children. The attorney for two of the
three minor children in the case has petitioned this court for extraordinary writ relief,
asking us to direct the juvenile court to order that the children be enrolled in a public or
private school, and actually attend such a school.
