As a home-educating father of nearly 30 years, my wife and I have always recommended parents to teach their own children, even if it means they have to do with less in order that they might honor and obey God (Deuteronomy 6:1-9). I have encouraged them to look into a variety of curriculums but have often recommended former congressman Ron Paul’s curriculum. The fact of the matter is that no one is better equipped to teach your children than you! And you certainly don’t need government, an entity that fails at virtually everything it attempts to do, telling you how to educate your offspring.
Heather Carson elaborates on the fact that we don’t need government regulations in order to educate our offspring.
Since 2020, the number of families participating in homeschooling has increased significantly, and with it, discussions about regulations. Currently, regulations of homeschoolers are a state-by-state phenomenon, with Pennsylvania and New York among the states with the most regulations and Missouri, Texas, and Oklahoma with the least. Examples of regulations include requiring parents to submit a letter of intent to homeschool prior to removing their children from the classroom, having teaching qualifications, teaching specific subjects, having evidence of vaccinations, schooling each child for a certain number of hours, and more.
