First, let’s get one thing straight. Homeschooling is completely legal.

Many parents have concerns regarding homeschooling their children and any legal restriction that may arise. They fear that homeschooling is either illegal or that the homeschooling parent must jump through a series of complicated hoops in order to meet governmental requirements. To some this degree, these fears may be founded, but for the most part, the legal side of homeschooling is simple, at least more simple than the homeschooling itself.

The Constitution does not mention education and on a federal level there is no interference. Education and the laws that govern it falls to the power of the states. Individual states’ rights dictate how education is handled, how large a part the Department of Education plays in the process and other legal details. With this being said, homeschooling laws can and do vary from state to state.

Homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, but some states make it easier to homeschool your children than others. For example, Idaho and Texas place very few restrictions on parents who elect to homeschool their children. Other states such as Massachusetts and New York are more heavily regulated. These states require that the curriculum used in the homeschooling setting must be approved by the state. The parent must submit achievement test scores and social workers may even perform home visits. Pennsylvania requires that all teaching materials used for homeschooling be submitted to the local school district for review.

Lobbyists and advocates continue in their legal efforts to quash attempts to pass bills that would increase the power of the state to enter the home, interfere too extensively with homeschooling or compel public school attendance. In 2006, many of these efforts were defeated, but most parents need never to worry about their right to educate their children in the way they see fit to ever be taken away. Court decisions regarding education and these types of issues have enjoyed an upward trend that is strongly in favor of them for many years.

Even as early as 1925, the Supreme Court ruled in Pierce v. Society of Sisters that the care and education of the child was not only the right, but the duty, of the parents, not the state. In 2000, Troxel v. Granville made it to the Supreme Court and garnered a landmark decision. Though it was an issue regarding visitation, not education, the principle force driving the decision has been successfully used by homeschool advocates. The Court reaffirmed the rights of parents as fundamental.

The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) was established in 1983 to provide legal resources for homeschooling parents and to fight for the rights of parents who seek to homeschool. The HSLDA tracks legal issues related to homeschooling and has fought many legal battles on the behalf of parents who homeschool. They publish an annual roundup of legislative acts and track any changes that are made by Congress as well as the individual states.

Although the states try to chip away at the rights of parents to homeschool and the federal government even gets in on the game from time to time, the majority of cases that have been brought to court have been settled in favor of parents.

While albeit rare, there have been cases of over zealous social workers who feel it is their duty to “protect” children from parents. Unfortunately, they may do so, even when there is no evidence of parental abuse or neglect. That possibility and social as well as legal issues sometimes make their way into the homeschool arena. HSLDA and others provide resources to parents to ensure that they do not have to deal with such issues.

Parents considering homeschooling their children would be best served to first research the paperwork, supervision and other legal requirements of their individual states. When homeschooling their children, the first schooling needs to start with the parents.

While most parents start saving from the beginning for their children’s college education there are still times when extra help is required. This help can come in different forms, and you will find many college scholarships which will be of great help. There are also times when looking at federal student financial aid is more helpful.

You should start exploring these many avenues when your child first enters high school without waiting until they are almost ready to enter the university. This will only put a strain on you financially until you can apply for and get federal student financial aid, and this might not a financial burden that you’re equipped to carry at that particular time.

This in turn will limit the scope of your where your child can look into, to go to university, which is a greater incentive to check out everything that you can about the federal student financial aid now before it is too late and the changing times catch up with you in the form of astronomical college fees.

Many times you can get the required information from the financial aid office in various universities. Your local library is yet another place where you can find information about federal student financial aid. Since there are different versions of this financial help you should choose at least about several different programs to be on the safe side.

Some of these programs are more popular than others for a variety of reasons, and if this is the case you might find that your chances for getting these particular federal student financial aid programs are very low indeed. But if you don’t apply to them you will never know if you could have gotten through or not so it’s always a good idea to put in your application for as many of these as you need.

Of these programs the federal student financial aid that you can get from the Stafford Student Loans programs is one of the most popular ones, and therefore something which you might want to aspire to, but not hold out any hopes for. There is no reason for despair though. There are more than enough federal student financial aid programs for you to apply to and not all of them are besieged by thousands of students applying for it.

You will find that if you do your homework right, then you can find a federal student financial aid program that is right for you, and that isn’t as highly popular as the Stafford Student Loans programs is. You should still apply for the Stafford Student Loans program, but to make sure that you have a fighting chance, you should also apply to other federal student financial aid programs as well.

Vocational Guidance be a subject of study ?

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

If we go to the local Employment Exchange and see the candidates registering their names, we shall find that all those who are coming from schools and colleges do not know in which trade or occupation they should get their names registered. That is the reason most of the candidates coming from schools and universities are registered in ‘ General Vacancies’ which clearly means that they are not fit for a profession, trade or occupation and they need Vocational Guidance to choose one of the trade or occupation for them out of atleast 3000 professions, trades, callings and occupations already identified and recognised in India. The states have made certain arrangements in the employment exchanges where the freshers could get Vocational Guidance, but this guidance at this stage does not give right direction to the candidates. Time has come when the state must consider the case for Vocational Guidance as a subject after 8th class in all the schools and colleges so that the students could know something about the world of works available in their own country. They shall be given to understand about the occupations in which candidates are in short supply and they shall also know in which trade people are already surplus and no fresh candidates are required. The youths shall also be given information about their interest and aptitutes and about the occupations which can afford them with income as they desire.

At present there is no guidance programme in schools and colleges. Some teachers have been designated as Vocational Guidance Masters, but they do not get time and matgerials and therefore, they never give guidance to the youths nor they make available the materials to the youths. The states must take into consideration the present system and its shortcomings and they must have consultations with experts and see that Vocational Guidance be introduced as a subject of study after middle examination. The students shall be getting informatifon about all the professions, trades, callings and occupations in time and they shall be preparing themselves for one of such trade in which they shall be getting a job. They shall know about the subjects of study which they shall have to opt for a particular occupation and they shall be able to prepare themselves to have success in the enterance examinations. They shall also know about the total expenditure involved in the training and they shall also try to understand from which source they shall be arranging the money. There are institutions which are providing financial help to the youths at low rate of interest. All this information must be made available to the youths so that they could have alternatives with them . The present system is increasing the number of un-employed in this country and we should try to give right direction to our youths and this must be done at school and college level because giving Vocational Guidance after completing study shall not give right direction to our youths and there are chances that they shall go astray because long term unemployment is breeding frustration amongst our youths and most of them are turning drug addicts and criminals. We should ensure that everyone coming out of schools and colleges be at work before he complites twenty five years of his age or earlier if he has left the school earlier.
