Homeschooling in your nation

[Nioya]

So this is thread about homeschooling

Do people in your nation homeschool? Is homeschooling legal in your nation? What percentage of people in your nation homeschool their children? What homeschooling methods are used?

[Suid-Amerika]

Homeschooling is legal and, in some quarters, encouraged. It reduces the burden on the state and allows the child to develop and thrive in an environment they're familiar and comfortable with.

Approximately 30% of Suid-Amerikaner kids are homeschooled. They're required to follow the same curriculum and take the same tests as other children in their age group.

Parents who wish to homeschool are given support from the government because the cost of that help is still less than the cost of running state schools.

[The Intergalactic Universe Corporation]

Homeschooling is legal, but not commonly practiced due to the view that homeschooling will encourage kids to be more introverted and less able to communicate with others. There are no regulations for homeschooling but most parents follow the curriculum by the ministry of education.

[Noraika]

There is some allocation for homeschooling in the Commonwealth of Noraika, but it is both highly discouraged and highly uncommon. It is only permitted in specific cases in which it is proven that the student is either incapable of operating in a school environment for unavoidable reasons (ie. severe mental illness) even with proper and proactive treatment. Otherwise a student must attend an educational institution.

[Huswyae]

In Huswyae, whether or not homeschooling is legal depends on Province. In Huswyae Coast, our largest province by population (and area), homeschooling is legal. In Labana, the most visited province, Homeschooling is illegal.

Homeschooling is discouraged due to the lack of social skills the child will have, the almost definite disadvantage the child will have, and the fact it will be hard to integrate the child into our mainstream education.

[Pal Moundsberanchiri]

Home schooling is common in my nation.

[Europe and Oceania]

No, Homeschooling is illegal, kids must be sent to an official school.

[Tulais]

Homeschooling is legal in Tulais. The government regulates it and manages various standards homeschoolers need to reach. It's unpopular in the general public and less than 2% are actually homeschooled.

[Kazarogkai]

For children of Mandatory Nursery School age(0-4 years) and Grammar School age(4-8) it is perfectly fine. But just like all schools though they are required to follow the nationally mandated curriculum to the letter. Though they may add on to said curriculum they cannot detract from it. Also home schooled children are required to take certain evaluations during the school year to track their progress and make sure that they are keeping up with other children in their pear group.

[Nova Doria]

Not only is homeschooling legal in my nation, the government even permits mainstream schools to be built into apartment buildings as long as they have separate exterior entrances to themselves and run from birth through 8 years and the landlord/lady and tenants may donate to them. The reason for this law is so that the Education Ministry can spend more money on the actual teachers.

[Rebirth Union]

Homeschooling is legal, but not encouraged. Instead, Unitarian schools have been made easier for children with learning disabilities by allowing kids and teenagers in school to choose their subjects. Only an estimated 120,000,000 Unitarian students are homeschooled.

[Fatatatutti]

In Fatatatutti, home schooling is in the same category as home dentistry - unless you're qualified to do it, you shouldn't be doing it to your children.

[Elcric Kcalb]

Is homeschooling legal in your nation?
Barring debilitating illness or other extenuating, dire circumstances, no, it is not. Education is far too important to the youth of this country to be left in the hands of anyone who is not a professional.

[Great Chota]

Homeschooling is completely legal in our nation, although the vast majority of children go to schools funded by the state/hold they live in. A lot of the communes and smaller communities do have a higher frequency of homeschooled kids, but even then, the Great Chotan government provides teachers free of charge that are dispatched to the territory for the school year and oversee any homeschooling that goes on. The school year runs from August to May each year, with a holiday break in December and January.

In other words, yes, it's totally legal, but very few people actually do the stereotypical version where it's just them and their kids; there is almost always a teacher dispatched to a community to oversee the teaching to make sure it is a high quality education when it comes to homeschooling, although the vast majority of children are schooled in educational institutions.

[Dread Catsylvania]

Homeschooling is not very common. For the poor there are the village schools run by the churches. For the rich there are private boarding schools.

[Aterria]

Illegal. Our education system is more than strong enough. Also, there are many tests and examinations only official schools can administer.

[Auzkhia]

Homeschooling, like education, is handled at the state level. Federal standards exist, but, currently, matters on home education, truancy, and teacher licensing are determined at state and local levels. The federal education ministry is an oversight committee.

In general most states banned Homeschooling, seeing its ban as a logical conclusion of truancy laws and teacher licensing laws. In areas where it isn't fully illegal, it is regulated and restricted, since education is a right, home education must equal the levels of education offered in established schools, and in some cases the parents have to have a teaching license and an opt-out from schools in writing.

It's illegal in most states, but some states allow but with restrictions and regulations.

[Las Indias Orientales]

Homeschooling is illegal and fines are given to those who violate the law. Exceptions can be made for pupils that can't attend school due to anxiety, bullying or any other circumstances like those, but even then pupils are encouraged to go to community centres or local colleges where they can get their education in a different environment.

[Gandoor]

Homeschooling is an unheard of concept in our nation.

[Devernia]

Homeschooling is legal, but not that common.

[Allanea]

Homeschooling is fully legal.

Many school companies mass-produce and sell school-in-a-box kits (that's to say, complete lists of school supplies and textbooks necessary to allow a parent equipped with an average education to teach a child throughout a single school year). Unschooling is also legal, though not very prominent.

Political subdivisions (states, cities, or territories) that have a school voucher program usually allow homeschooling parents to receive the full worth of the vouchers in cash.

Public schooling is nearly completely extinct.

In addition, Allanea accepts homeschooling parents from countries that have banned the practice as refugees.

[Nortainland]

Homeschooling is legal, and is common amongst the upper classes. Girls are often homeschooled with a governess until they are old enough to go to senior boarding schools.

[Dushan]

Homeschooling is fully legal and widespread in the Principality of Dushan, this is particulary true for children from higher class Families.

[Skyhooked]

Homeschooling is legal, and sometimes used... the only requirement, that children can pass their exams, which is necessary to be officially educated.

[Bereia]

So this is thread about homeschooling

Really? God, was I confused. I thought it was about Belgian beer culture.

This. Children are not the property of government.
