You want to home school? No problem. Just need to make sure your home is up to the same standards as regular school.
That would still missing the key issue here: regular contact with children of the same age group.
There are socialization opportunities, sometimes. The issue is with whom.
Uncles, cousins, grandpa, the pastor, ...
i grew up homeschooled with extreme abuse, and have been saying this for years. i have gotten a surprising amount of pushback for it, even by friends who i consider progressive. it's strange
oh, and the adult administering the curriculum must be licensed to teach in that state and keep up with licensing. (my mom had the equivalent of a self taught 3rd grade level education)
Good luck getting any of that done if they claim they're a "religious teaching institution."
put that damn wall back up. they get sundays, real school gets monday through friday.
Like that pos nazi home schooling cult Americans have. I cant believe this is real life.
They’d scream and cry that you’re trampling their rights. Though I absolutely agree with you.
Sadly, the state of the US educational standards have been in decay for decades, as well as the premises. More rational parents are turning to homeschooling and demanding curricula that is better than evangelical scams.
you really only need the testing and education requirements for the teacher, everything else costs too damn much.
