Sometimes school officials don’t understand the homeschool law in their state, misinterpret the meaning, or intentionally try to overreach their authority—as was recently the case in a Kentucky school district. In this episode, Tj Schmidt (HSLDA Staff Attorney) joins Jim Mason (HSLDA President) to give a rundown of what happened in this particular county and how HSLDA advocated for local homeschool families. Tj and Jim also discuss how some situations involving only one family can actually impact many other homeschool families—which is why it’s important to stay vigilant!
“I think the beauty of the homeschooling movement is that you’re able to develop that educational program that’s best for your child, for your family. And it often doesn’t look exactly like the public school. And so many times these school officials have the impression that if you’re not doing what they’re doing, then you’re not educating your child.” – Tj Schmidt
