The California homeschool case in the news this week got me thinking about how fortunate we are in Texas to have such liberal homeschool requirements.
In the 1987 case of Leeper v. Arlington Indep. School Dist the court ruled that home schools in Texas can legally operate as private schools. As a result of the Leeper decision, home schools do not have to initiate contact with a school district, submit to home visits, have curriculum approved or have any specific teacher certification. Home schools need only have a written curriculum, conduct it in a bona fide manner and teach math, reading, spelling, grammar, and good citizenship.
That's it.
Update: Those are merely the state requirements. You need a willing wife with the patience of Job to actually pull it off.
