The legal issues surrounding home schooling increases as the number of home-schooled students rise. Part of the concern is the compulsory requirement of attending school until a certain age. The Constitution of the United States is not clear on this issue. The United States Supreme Court has not formerly ruled on the issue. Since the National legislature has not responded, the state legislature has responded by making it legal in their state to be home schooled.
Most people think home scholars are loners.
They may each start or study a different way during the day to fit each learning style and time requirement. Some home-schooled children may spend part of their day at a school or college. As a teacher, I may come into contact with students that could be at the school for only my math class. Instead of referring the home school students to the office or another teacher for discipline problems, I would refer the student to their parents. The parents could have a voice in how I run the classroom, the amount of homework assigned, when tests or quizzes are given, and the grading criteria of the class.
