Foster parents, Judge Myerscough argues, are "to be directly involved in overseeing the formal education of the foster children in their care," according to state guidelines. Further, she notes, no one can become a foster parent until they've completed six hours of "educational advocacy training." Foster parents are also expected to be involved in "several non-academic aspects of the foster children’s advancement." For example, Section 402(16), titled “Meeting Basic Needs of Children,” requires foster home licensees to develop the foster child’s personal and interpersonal skills and interests. Myerscough's rationale for upholding the restrictions on foster parents, though, is incredibly weak.
