What age can a parent take a child out of school?

Answer 1

Yes, they can, but not by just not sending them one day. They have to go through legal documents, but they usually have to be either under home-study with the public school or homeschooled. There are many homeschool legal groups, like HSLDA that help protect the parents when they take their child out of school. That would be the Reader's Digest version, and there's more in depth but try HSLDA. They're very explanitive.

ANSWER: Gee, I'm not happy with the public school system and the inadequate education my children are getting and I would like to just teach them myself, is that legal? In the State of California the Superior Court says no, it is not legal and that parents must obtain certification in order to gain the states permission to teach their own children. The ruling made by the Superior Court will not be enforced pending the Supreme Court ruling, and wisely so. The Supreme Court will almost assuredly overturn the Superior Court decision. Why? Parents do not need permission from the state to teach their own children. The current law in California that demands all children must receive an education is not Constitutional, and the California legislators have overstepped their jurisdictional boundaries. Does the state have the right to tell parents how they must raise their children? Is there a Constitutional basis to do so? Parents, if you want to teach your children, and you want to teach them well, then take a good look at the Constitution, this is the document your legislators took a sworn oath to uphold, and see where it is the legislative bodies or the courts have the authority to dictate what kind of education and more importantly what kind of curriculum must be taught. To actually turn to home schooling "legal experts" in an attempt to appease your overbearing government will only grant jurisdiction to the very same tyrants who have no jurisdiction without your permission.

It is the people from which all government authority springs from. Not the other way around, and if parents are concerned with obeying the law, it would be a prudent and wise to understand that the Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the land, and for law abiding citizens in this country obeying the law starts with keeping your government from going into error. Statutes written by a legislative body, or even directly by the people are not law, they are merely evidence of law. The law is not made it is discovered and if it exists then it is law, if it does not exist it matters not how clever or legal the language of the statute is, it is not law. In this country the only laws our legislative body should be concerned with are the laws that protect the rights of the people. Do mandatory education laws protect the right of the people? You're the parent, your not stupid, you don't need some lawyer or legal expert to explain the law to you. Are your rights being protected by declaring home schooling ill legal?

If you are happy with the public school system by all means take advantage of what it has to offer, but if you are not happy with that system and you want a better education for your children, if you go and ask permission from the state to do so, it should surprise no one if permission has been denied. Our government actually does have the authority to deny permission, as permission by definition is not a right. The government does not, however, have the right to deny any individual their rights.

Answer 2

The parent who removes a child from school must either transfer the child to another accredited school or enroll in an accredited homeschooling program. Actually, providing no schooling is worse because the child eventually will need to be financially independent and the way is to have a basic education. If the child is a teenager and regular high school is not working, try a charter school.

Answer 3

No it is the law that a child has to attend school. You can get cited and fined if you don't send your children to school. The school will make a C.A.R. (Child Abuse Report) and CPS will be involved and an investigation will be conducted. So, it's not a smart thing to do.

Answer 4

Yes.
