Question

Why was home school legalized? And why was it illegal in the first place ?

Answer 1

In the United States, homeschooling is lawful in all fifty states. The U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled on homeschooling specifically, but in Wisconsin (1972) it supported the rights of Amish parents to keep their children out of public schools for religious reasons.

Answer 2

Homeschool was legalized because many people believed that children were not being educated correctly by the schools, and that the schools were creating a cruel learning environment designed to make the children “compliant employees”. Homeschooling was never really illegal, but some states thought these children would not be given the proper education as they would if they were in a real school. I hope this helps!
