11-17-97 The PDK (Phi Delta Kappa)
association in Hall County, led by Assistant Superintendent
Massey, has written a survey with the help of local
homeschoolers. PDK plans to use the survey in a research
project on homeschooling and asked for HEIR's opinion on
their survey. HEIR expressed concern for the types of
questions on the survey which seemed to presuppose a
school-at-home philosophy and questions which seemed to
probe homeschooler's compliance with the law. PDK has
intended to mail these surveys to everyone in the 9th
district and superintendents in several counties have
already given PDK the names and addresses of homeschoolers
from their records. HEIR believes that this violates
O.C.G.A. Sec. 20-2-690.
