DIVVY GROUP: Kreager

History
"The National Center for Education Statistics estimated that 1.1 million students received their schooling from home in the United States in 2003."
"As one of America's oldest practices, homeschooling should remain protected in the face of these threats (Kreager, 2010, p. 246)."

State Equivalency Law
Connecticut
“This increased protection requires the state to prove that restrictions on homeschooling further a compelling governmental interest and use the least restrictive means in furthering that compelling governmental interest” (Kreager, 2010, 237).
Massachusetts
“Parents wishing to homeschool their children in Massachusetts must obtain approval from the local school superintendent or school committee” (Kreagers, 2010, pp. 238).
New Jersey
“The New Jersey courts have stated that “parents do have a constitutional right to choose the type and character of education they feel is best suited for their children, be it secular or sectarian.”” (Kreagers, 2010, pp. 239).
Laws/Policies
"By requiring children to attend public schools, compulsory attendance laws allowed public education advocates to flout the traditional parental right to determine the appropriate education for children" (Kreager, 2011, p. 228)
Religion: "Yoder concerned a Wisconsin compulsory attendance law that required children to attend public school or a private school until they reached the age of 16 (Kreager, 2010, p. 232)."- In response the Amish felt it was unlawful because modern day schooling goes against their religious beliefs.

Popular belief that homeschooled children are less socialized and not independent. This claim is very false, homeschooled children are better at making their own decisions and socialize well with others.
the school may examine the type of subjects taught and the grade level at which they are taught by looking at lesson plans, textbooks, and other instructional aides.
