No, We Don’t Need Federal Homeschooling Standards

“Beyond the obvious point that there is no constitutional role for the federal government in education, the proposal for top-down, national mandates on homeschoolers assumes that the government knows best when it comes to education. Yet, the vast majority of school founders I interview are former public school teachers who grew so disillusioned with the rigidity, standardization, and coercion of government-run schooling that they left to create their own schools and spaces. Many families are also leaving government-run schools for similar reasons, seeking more joyful and enriching learning experiences for their children.” (06/21/24)
