This is a well written article with lots of information. Whoever wrote it did a great job but there are very few sources to back up the information. If anyone knows the links to show that these are facts please add some. Lrldcs 15:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I added advocacy groups because I think it is a big part of knowing about and protecting the legality of homeschooling. I don't think I'll say too much about it on this page though but will check out HSLDA page. Anyone else know of any more groups to add? Lrldcs 15:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
I think this page should talk about the court decision that came down this week that said homeschooling is illegal in California except with a teaching license. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mos bratrud ( talk • contribs) 05:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
I would love to remove the section on the UN. This goes around on homeschooling listservs periodically, as a kind of "aaa, the black helicopters" glurge, but it refers to a document that the US has not ratified, and is not going to ratify, so I don't see why it should be in this article. Cf. WP:CRYSTAL. Ethan Mitchell ( talk) 10:58, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
It is rather remarkable that only the US and and the pseudo-state of Somalia have failed to ratify the treaty. And how can we be sure that as the US-as it moves to the left-will never ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child? It's like assuming that the US's unique commitments to free speech and the right to bear arms will remain forever secure. Quite naive, I think. Falange ( talk) 23:12, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Seems to me that moving this information out of the public eye would be the best way to begin to move toward ratifying same. 68.99.175.33 ( talk) 07:09, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
There was nothing from the East Coast in the "Examples" section, so it seemed right to add the policies and the implications. It was also neat to learn how Virginia is the only state that makes a legal provision for religious exemption. My research into the matter also made me understand what they mean when I hear that the percentages of parents of homeschoolers that are highly educated is greater than that of the general population. They have to be in order to even qualify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaxy2011 ( talk • contribs) 19:02, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
I made some changes to the end of the statement on Virginia, since a few of the facts were misstated in such a way as to lead to incorrect assumptions. It would be great to see statements for all 50 states. 108.26.85.135 ( talk) 02:45, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
shouldn't there be a section on homeschooler's performance on standardized tests compared to students from public, private and christian schools? William Turns ( talk) 12:15, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
That information can be found here: https://www.nheri.org/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.152.176 ( talk) 14:52, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
The article seems to only consider the opinion of the Supreme Court and the states as having weight or merit mention, but there are varying stances adopted by representatives of different agencies that I think should be mentioned. One, of course, would be the recent position held by the DoJ of homeschooling not being a fundamental right. Another would be that put forth by the DoDEA, which says, "“It is DoDEA policy neither to encourage nor discourage DoD sponsors from home schooling their minor dependents. DoDEA recognizes that home schooling is a sponsor’s right and can be a legitimate alternative form of education for the sponsor’s dependents.” My source can be found here: http://www.shopmyexchange.com/Community/Homeschooling/. Unfortunately, the link in the article is broken as it appears that the original pdf was pulled. Considering that this is essentially a statement from the federal government recognizing the right of a member of the U.S. military to choose to homeschool, I am not surprised that it was removed from display. The DoD official stance at that time, therefore, was that homeschooling is indeed a fundamental right. How is that a right for members of the military, but not private citizens? Seems like somebody is trying to get their ducks all in a row on this, and I think this information should be included in this article. Infinityseed ( talk) 07:27, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

As can be seen in the edit log, this page was written in 2008, and it shows. A lot of the information isn't exactly relevant anymore. Help fixing it up would be greatly appreciated. Ejkrause ( talk) 02:49, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
