...who would be left to fill out the 25 pounds of paperwork every week documenting school performance and compliance with lebenty zillion regulations and rules?
Simply not workable in this day and age. Nothing is more important than those reports that flow from every school in the state to the State Capitol to be assembled into huge binders that are then incorporated into 1,000 page summary reports that then flow to Washington DC.
Great question.
I was homeschooled, and there was plenty of accounting hassle involved, even for one teaching parent of one student.
There are so many laws and regulations involved, it's hard to imagine micro schools surviving. Teachers still need credentials, too. Private schools are still so hamstrung, they are virtually working for the state.
That deck is stacked.
Get rid of the eleventy million rules & regulations.
