Homeschooling is a time-honored and widespread practice. It often presents, however, a conflict between the constitutional right of parents to direct the education of their children and the State's right to impose regulations in the interest of ensuring an educated citizenry. The Supreme Court has made it clear that any regulation impacting this constitutional right must be "reasonable." The courts have therefore generally resolved homeschooling cases by examining whether state regulation of homeschooling places an unreasonable burden on the rights of parents. The courts, however, have altogether failed to address another, more fundamental question: whether the state regulation in fact advances the State interest. A regulation that fails this criterion cannot be "reasonable." Using the vehicle of a recent California appellate court case, in which the court initially upheld a regulation prohibiting parents from homeschooling their children unless they first obtained a state teaching credential, we show how recent social science research should impact the analysis. Instead of assuming away the issue of whether the regulation in fact advances the State interest, we show that this type of empirical research will allow courts to be able to answer this threshold question.

    At times in schools, there could be disagreements and disputes between the decisions of government and the rights of individuals. Students attend school in order to become well-educated young adults. The schoolteacher’s main objective is to make sure that students are receiving the maximum amount of learning to prepare them for future endeavors.

    Today’s parents have many options for their children’s education. The pros and cons of homeschooling add up in so many directions. In my research, one of the biggest questions was can homeschooling curriculum match up with examinations and accreditation of public or private schools? The issue is can a parent be qualified enough to train their children on their own without being a professional teacher. Children deserve the best schooling possible because school prepares children for their in life and education is needed to succeed in the life of the world of work.

    Three major investigations were conducted in an effort to determine the impact of home school regulations on educational enrollments in the United States. Home school regulations were obtained from state departments of education and investigated to determine the strength of the accountability measures. Populations representative of the school-age population by state, school enrollment, school non-enrollment, and home school enrollment were collected using 2000 U. S. Census data. The relationship between the strength of the home school regulations and the home school enrollments was examined. Finally, the existence of a discrepant student population was assessed.…

    Homeschooling has historically been the primary method for educating the average citizen. Before Western civilization began to emphasize the need for education of the general populace, children were most often taught by their parents, grandparents, or relatives with useful knowledge. In fact, the modern idea of formal education was usually reserved for the elite members of society who could pay the hefty price for a private tutor. Now, quality education is readily available to nearly every member of Western society. However, some parents have turned back to the practice of educating their children out of the comfort of their own home. This practice is known as “homeschooling.”…

    Although homeschool education may have its advantages, public school education offers a more well-organized and effective setting for a student to learn and prosper. The famous philosopher named Plato once stated, “Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.” This quotation is highly influential. It is imperative to consider the different educational necessities of children when deciding whether homeschooling or public education is the best academic choice. It is a blessing to live in a country where parents can take a step back and find the education choice that best suits our children.…

    For many years it has been a statistical fact that homeschoolers score above public schooled students. A recent study ,” Homeschool Progress Report 2009” ,which was done by Brian Ray showed that home-schoolers scored an average of 37 percentile points higher than public schooled students on achievement tests(Smith ,2009). Homeschool graduates exceeded public school graduates in 42 out of 63 indicators of college success in research shared at the National Christian Home Educators Leadership Conference (CBN News,May,2007). Studies such as this have muted the concern that parents could not provide an adequate education at home.While no one can argue that most homeschoolers are normally intelligent , successful students the argument that remains is that of socialization. Outsiders wonder how these students can maintain a life without their parents by their side no matter how intelligent they may be. The general feeling is that a parent should begin to let go of a child once he or she reaches school age.…

    II. Many years ago homeschooling was very rare. But according to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (2013), they “released an eagerly awaited report on the number of homeschooled students in the U.S. The report showed that the number of homeschooled students has grown by almost 300,000 since the last report in 2007” (para. 1).

    Consequently, if education reform doesn’t come swiftly and effectively in our Texas policies, a new ‘norm’ will emerge as more families find ways to homeschool their children where standardized testing is NOT required. Those students earn a higher GPA upon graduation as well as graduate college at a higher rate than their institutional peers. A new study published in The Journal of College Admission suggests that homeschool students enjoy higher ACT scores, grade point averages and graduation rates compared with other college students (O’Shaugnessy). Imagine the drop in enrollment… Imagine the drop in sales – when our children are no longer on the…
