Who is allowed to teach a homeschooled child?
Asked by families. Answered by Peabody editors from the sources below.
State homeschool laws say who may teach, and the rules differ widely. Peabody's state law pages, each checked against the statute or the state education department, show some states asking nothing of the parent, some asking for a diploma or equivalent, and some limiting teaching to parents. This table gives each state's line with a link to its law page.
