Indiana: Home schoolers are producing educated students
An Indiana News-Sentinel editorial:
If California has been among the states that have tried the hardest to regulate home schooling, it’s fair to say Indiana has been among the most lax.
There are very few rules here, and the ones we have aren’t exactly monitored closely. Home-schooling parents are supposed to give their children the “equivalent” of a public education, but “equivalence” isn’t defined. There are no program or curriculum requirements, and students aren’t required to take any standardized tests. Attendance is supposed to be taken to ensure 180 days of education a year, but that’s only for parents who bother to register with the state. Not all do.
