At a sponsored lunch at the park, I would agree to their terms *before* I get the lunch. I do not agree to the terms of a web site that expects me to look at annoying, flashing, noise-making ads.
My analogy is exact. They offer the content for free, *then* expect me to live up to their terms.
Their idea of a business plan is not *my* obligation.
The news coverage on this is complete bullshit. California allows homeschooling, and has for many years, and this ruling recognizes that. The ruling wasn't based on the kids being homeschooled, the ruling was based on the parents *lying* about the kid being enrolled in a charter school. The LA Times story (on which all the coverage is based) was written by someone who either didn't understand (or read) the ruling, or who just made stuff up to sell advertising. All the parents have to do is tell the school they're homseschooling, and submit an annual report of attendance and the subjects being covered. That's it.
