This worries, angers, frustrates me.
I was homeschooled the majority of my life. When I was 15 I went to public school for one year to see how it was. I made solid A's and was bored out of my mind. I left, did 6 months of prep work and started working on an associates degree in computer science. I held a 4.0 until my last two semesters. I graduated with a 3.3 gpa at 19. I am an average student who suffers from motivation issues. I think I did fine. I now have comfortable job with banking software.
My mother was not teacher certified, and did not have -any- degree.
I plan on homeschooling my daughter. This ruling sounds like BS to me and when I think about it I am infuriated.
Just needed to get that off my chest.

I was homeschooled, too, up until I was 16, when I started going to the local community college. My mom's not a certified teacher, she has no teaching degree, or ANY degree for that matter. But we had good curriculum, and when we took the yearly comprehension tests (put on by the state), all of my brothers and sisters and I scored post-high-school on everything.
It's ridiculous that any state would want to do this, especially when it's obvious by the fact that these children are being homeschooled in the first place, that the parents are unhappy with the results of the public school system.
