- - - - Equivalency Laws
        
        These laws exempt children from compulsory attendance laws so long as they receive “‘equivalent instruction’ elsewhere.”(236)
        
        Connetticutts's equivalency law
        
        "Teacher qualification requirements or standardized test requirements do not apply under Connecticut law.118 In addition, Connecticut law does not require parents to notify school officials of their intent to homeschool. Although no teacher qualifications or standardized tests apply, parents wishing to homeschool in Connecticut must participate in an annual portfolio review with school officials to ensure the provision of equivalent instruction."(237)
      - Private School Laws
        
        "States using these laws regulate homeschooling as an arm of the private school system." (234)
        "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." (234)
      - Homeschool Statutes
        
        "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. "(240)
        
        Ohio's Homeschooling Statute
        
        "In Ohio, where the state’s Supreme Court classified homeschooling as a fundamental right,159 children may receive home education “by a person qualified to teach the branches in which instruction is required.”160 Additionally, parents must provide extensive information to the superintendent, including notification that the parents wish to homeschool their children; assurance that parents will teach certain subjects; an outline of the intended curriculum; and assurance of the parent’s qualifications to teach the children."240)
- - - - “These rights, however, remain subject to state compulsory attendance laws. With these rights in mind, the current situation regarding various state regulations illustrates the success and vibrancy of homeschooling.” (Kreager, 2010, p.233)
  - - - • “The Court stated at the outset that Prince’s claim implicated not only parental rights secured by the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, but also First Amendment freedom of religion.61 The coupling of these fundamental rights highlighted the gravity of the issue.”
- - - - "In addition to increased regulation, homeschooling advocates who fear a potential ban on homeschooling find reason for concern in the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child (“UN Convention”) (250)
    - - "Proposed increases in regulation represent the greatest threats to homeschooling. Proponents of regulation argue that such regulations serve the legitimate government concern of a well-informed citizenry and foster a diverse democracy" 247
