Question

Does anybody know what are the requirements for homeschooling in the state of texas?

Answer 1

There are NO requirements. You run as a private school that you run as you see fit. Okay, one correction: there are certain subject areas you are supposed to cover, but they don't tell you what explicitly to cover and nobody checks to see what you are doing. You have no paperwork to file, no mandatory testing to do.

Answer 2

Everything that you need to know is right here. http://www.thsc.org/defaultpage.asp

Don't ever let you kids go to government school in Texas.

Write me with any question any time. I have regreted every second since I stopped homeschooling my kid in Texas.

I know some great programs if you are in the Dallas area.

I like NHEN, but they actually make it seem harder than it is.

Answer 3

Glurpy is correct, don't let the thumbs down fool you into believing she is not right.  I don't know if the thumbs down were because someone thinks she is wrong or because someone doesn't like that truth.  

The five areas:  reading, math, good citizenship, grammar, spelling.

Answer 4

you need to ask the state of TX...and the county in which you live, not in Yahoo.
