I know that it is legal for parents who home school their children to issue a diploma when they meet the graduation requirements set out for them, but does anyone know where we can find this in writing for the sake of keeping things moving smoothly at my graduation in May? Can anyone cite anything that says it is not legal?

I don’t care about colleges. I’ve already been accepted to the university of my choice.
William O - Can you cite the law? That is what I’m asking for…

Larry K asked:


We are thinking of starting our children in a home schooling program this fall. My concern, first of all, is can they receive a diploma upon graduation from 12th grade, or if we make one ourselves for them, will it be as valid as one from a public school? And secondly, and my main concern, will they be able to use the diploma that they do have or their home schooling records to get into college. How do colleges select home schoolers and what basis do they use? If anyone can help me in this, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.

I am looking for a reputable home schooling program to become a medical assistant. My local junior varsity colleges don’t offer them and the classes run 8 am - 3:20 pm. I am married, have 3 children and a home to care for so these hours are not possible oputside the home. I just hate to be played and scammed by the many companies that just take your money and get away with it. Then you walk away broke and nothing accomplished. Any ideas of a good at home program formedical assisting?
