82. State Laws And Regulations are scrambling to reform their education system, the a perspective on homeschooling,laws, and regulations. http://www.home-ed-magazine.com/HSRSC/hsrsc_lws.rgs.html

PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING FURTHER The HEM staff has been considering pulling these listings. The main reason is that as homeschooling becomes more widely accepted, and as states are scrambling to reform their education system, the situation becomes more complex. This makes overviews, listings and rankings less valid. We have, however, decided to keep these listings in place because they carry, at a minimum, a link to your state government. Additionally we hope reading cited code and at least one homeschooler's interpretation will help start to demystify legislation and encourage you to investigate further. When talking to new homeschoolers we often hear concerns about the law. Is homeschooling legal? Who do I have to notify? What do I have to teach? While the legalities are a concern that should not be ignored, neither should our response be automatic and not thought out carefully. There is no single source, no one true homeschooling authority. We all own the responsibility to think through laws and regulations on homeschooling. Of course you'll find those who disagree - an entire industry has grown up around the fact that there are differences of opinion on homeschooling's legal matters. What we offer here are overviews of laws and regulations compiled by knowledgeable homeschoolers. These files are not legal advice nor the final word on the subject. They are simply a starting point. To maintain our freedom to homeschool we will each need to go far beyond any convenient compilation or synopsis. We need to continue to do our own learning, lead our own research, and decide on our own actions.

News From Congressman Larry Combest: "Back To Basics In Education"-- Weekly Colu The EdFlex program was authorized in 1992 to permit states to waive federal educationregulations. texas was included in the pilot program, along with 11 http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/tx19_combest/EdFlexWkly.html

Next Previous 1999 Press Release List News From Congressman Larry Combest Texas' 19th Congressional District March 15, 1999 "Back to Basics in Education" Weekly Column One of my top priorities this Congress is to help schools have the proper tools to provide our students with a challenging and enriching education. This week I supported, and the House passed, much-needed relief for our schools and improved the opportunity for the academic achievement of our students with the passage of the Education Flexibility Partnership Act of 1999. While I am home in Texas, I spend a great deal of time listening to teachers, administrators, students and parents about their education needs. What I hear time and again is that the federal government is too intrusive and too stringent on local school matters. Time- consuming regulations often hinder a school's ability to provide students with effective opportunities, and the schools face administrative burdens in completing applications for federal assistance and documenting their needs for funds. Some requirements will always be needed, but many times, the paperwork is simply excessive. Schools spend more time filling out paperwork and less time devoted to our children's educational development. Too often, federal policies don't recognize that every state, school district and local school in America is different. The most effective policies have proven to be those flexible enough to allow states and schools to mold federal assistance to meet their individual needs.

Education Have you ever seen a child discover the softness of a cotton ball? Or the markings on a cow? Or the flesh of a ripe peach? Or the earth's spongy soil underfoot? While some children may experience these things every day, TDA is working to give all children an opportunity to see and experience the wonder of agriculture firsthand. TDA has made agriculture education a high priority by providing programs, research, workshops, urban school grants and internships Here you will find information on these and other TDA initiatives. The focus is on educating people on the science behind agriculture and how it affects their everyday lives. The cotton in a T-shirt, the peanuts in peanut butter and the corn in laundry detergent are all products of agriculture. While agriculture is charged with feeding and clothing an exploding population, TDA today is educating children for an even better future Additional Links: Agriculture Education Opportunities Re-certification Courses for Pesticide Applicators www.usda.gov/news/usdakids/index.html www.ars.usda.gov/is/kids/globalscitech/index.html ...
