Flames, do you have an article explaining this in more detail? For example, what kind of degree do you need?

I can definitely see the logic in it. Many parents aren't qualified to teach their children. The movie "Jesus Camp" illustrates that quite clearly. It's quite unfair for a kid to be restricted to a single person's opinion, especially in those years.

Flames, you said, "The reason you get homeschooled is because the people with the degrees aren't up to your standards." I'm not quite sure what you mean here. There are usually two reasons parents homeschool their children. The first is to accelerate your kid's learning, which is fine. The second, and scary one, is to isolate your kid from facts you disagree with. That is irresponsible, and I think requiring some sort of degree would indeed help prevent this.

Obviously this law doesn't stop you from teaching your kids. I don't know where you got that idea. You would just have to put them in school as well.
