Guideline 2
School officials may ask you for information that pertains to the academic credentials or qualifications of the parents who will be teaching the children. Certification would not necessarily be required for parents under a home school proposal.
Let me just tell you that parents do not need to have college or advanced academic degrees. All the laws state clearly that what is needed for homeschooling is that teachers shall be ‘of competent ability and good morals. For example, if you have a criminal history on record, you would not be deemed worthy to teach a child.
In order for parents to comply with this standard they can include one of the following in their education plan:
• I am of competent ability and good morals for teaching my child.
• Summarize your educational credentials, certifications etc.
• Schools are not authorized to ask for the qualifications of everyone who will be teaching your child such as speakers etc.
