 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

When School Officials Overstep Their Authority | An Interview with TJ Schmidt

What are the legal and practical implications of remote education programs offered by the public schools, and how do they differ from private homeschooling? Join HSLDA Vice President Jim Mason and HSLDA Staff Attorney Tj Schmidt as they clear up various misunderstandings surrounding these remote education programs. “As the parents, we have the opportunity to provide a homeschooling program that's tailored to their needs and abilities, and their strengths and weaknesses. I think the public school programs, unfortunately, are directed at control of both the education and curriculum, and the method of how it’s provided. And while some parents find it meets their needs, most parents find they’re not going to have the flexibility that they really need to meet the needs of their child in a public school program.” —Tj Schmidt
