Homeschools

By Janet R. Beales and Dr. Thomas F. Bertonneau | Oct. 1, 1997

By their nature, homeschools are usually limited to the children of the homeschooling family, but homeschools are unlimited for families wanting to create them. Homeschooling is legal in every state. For practical purposes, homeschooling may not be an option for families unwilling or unable to devote the time of one or both parents to teaching. Homeschools generally are not a placement option for adjudicated youth.
