Homeschooling (Kreager) (The Development of Homeschooling in America…

- - - - “The Supreme Court established two broad rights: the parental right under the Fourteenth Amendment to control the upbringing of children in many areas including education, and the right to homeschool one’s children under the Free Exercise Clause when a religious motivation to do so exists.” (Kreager, 2010, p. 232)
- - - - “Under current California law, parents have four options for homeschooling their children. These options include: filing an annual private school affidavit; forming a private school satellite program; hiring a certified private tutor; or offering an independent study program.” (Kreager, 2010, p. 234)
    - - “These laws exempt children from compulsory attendance laws so long as they receive
        “‘equivalent instruction’ elsewhere.” States utilizing equivalency laws find it difficult to define equivalency, and the burden to prove the instruction’s equivalency falls on the states.” (Kreager, 2010, p. 236)
    - - “States utilizing home education laws use statutes that directly regulate homeschooling.
        This type of regulation explicitly addresses homeschooling, which is the primary difference between this category of regulation and the other two categories.” (Kreager, 2010, p. 40)
- - - - Proponents of regulation argue that such regulations serve the legitimate government concern of a well-informed citizenry and foster a diverse democracy. Although these advocates do not seek to ban homeschooling altogether, they insist on strict regulation of homeschooling.” (Kreager, 2010, p. 247)
      - “Another argument against homeschooling pits a parent’s right to control his or her child’s education against the child’s wishes, placing the child on equal footing with the parent.” (Kreager, 2010, p. 248)
      - The United Nations Convention on the Right of the Child
        
        “The [British] report recommends that local authorities should have access to the home and the right to speak with children without their parents present to allow the authorities to “satisfy themselves that the child is safe and well.”” (Kreager, 2010, p. 251)
