No particular subject is required to be taught in any given year. Guidance about competency of parents. Charles explains that the parents need not be certified, nor need they have college or advanced academic degrees. Research show that credentials of the parent have little to do with achievement of the child. See research by Patricia Lines , also by Lawrence Rudner and Brian Ray .
Parents are often facilitators, finding resources to help children learn.
Guidance about hours of instruction. Though the superintendent may consider the length of the school year and the hours of instruction in each subject, it's important to note that there is no state requirement for a certain number of hours in a certain subject. Note that the Court does not mention that the school district may require parents to provide a specific schedule. Since home schooling occurs in a non-institutional setting, most students excel with fewer hours of formal instruction than is required in the public schools . See Court rulings point 10 7.
