FAQ for the New Homeschooler
Q: Do I have to have a college degree to homeschool?
A: In Michigan, you are not required to have a college degree to educate your children at home, unless you decide to register with the state then you would be required to have a teacher certificate.
Q: What about socialization?
A: The answer to this question is a question: “What kind of socialization are you seeking for your child?” Traditional school ONLY guarantees that your child will be in a classroom full of children EXACTLY his/her own age for five days of the week. Alternately, a homeschooled child will often interact with people of varying ages and abilities throughout the school week as he or she accompanies you to the bank and on your other errands.
