No, they do not have to be home for your schooling. But if you are under 13, there is a chance that someone might report them to CPS for neglect if they do leave you alone and unsupervised for long periods of time.
It can be a sticky situation. And even if you are older, some teens really can’t be trusted to be alone so it will take some planning for “what ifs” if they decide that you can handle it. Like you would need to have a neighbor nearby that you could call in an emergency, and you need to be able to have phone contact with a responsible adult, otherwise your parents could be in trouble if someone want to report you being home alone.

As long as you’re old enough to legally stay home alone and they don’t mind leaving you home alone, then no. Usually you have to be at least 12 to legally stay home alone for long periods of time.

No If you are old enough to write this question and read the answers, then you are old enough to be home alone and learn.

no mine aren’t I am home schooled with SOS home schooling and my parents don’t have to grade my daily work the computer does it so my mom does not need to be there. I love mine.But your parents don’t have to be home as long as you are responsible enough to handle it. That is why my parents aren’t going to quit their job to sit there and watch us do work.

Legally, yes they should, because if your under 18 a parent or guardian must be with you. But im doing it w/out my mom here. But i’d advise you not to do online, it’s too hard. it’s hard stayong focused because your already on the internet (:
Btw, i do SOS also.

nope, only when you have to do welcome calls and monthly calls, but you can do those at night
or at seperate times from your parents. the teachers understand.

No your parents don’t have to be home if you want to do Online Learning. Go to Kaplanacademy.com and see if they offer it in your area. It is a very good online program and your parents don’t even have to be home to watch you.

No, they don’t have to be home. I’m home schooled and my parents go out to work and I stay at home doing my schoolwork by myself. However, if you have tutors your parents do have to be at home whilst they are there.
