This opinion doesn't outlaw homeschooling, but it can help provide cover for those who would want to deny a homeschooler being listed as "persons capable of teaching" and able to file as a private school to obtain exemption.
Many Departments of Ed in the other States have similar verbiage. All the better to confuse. Yes, there is no “official” authorization (and does beg the question—should there be???), and yes here you must register, notify the local school district, and other hoop jumping as necessary. But this rather vague terminology does not address just “what” the “what” is of this “certification.” various attempts like this have been tried here also, thus far all to be shot down. One was the requirement of a college degree by primary teacher, etc. Which is a fine idea but puts those parents who have only high school diplomas in a bind and must hire someone out to do this in a “private” setting.
Of COURSE it does not officially outlaw ANYTHING, but he issue here is the certification thorn being used as a weapon against those parents whose primary career was, say, horse ferrying, and not posessing a credential, be it teaching or otherwise.
How then do those parents file?
