Abstract:
In 1995-96, the number of home-schooled children in North Carolina exceeded 13,000. Eventually a point is reached where parents of these children cannot instruct in advanced courses, such as chemistry and physics, and request local school systems to allow their children to attend part-time. Schools are not required to do this, either by state or federal law. North Carolina law does not prohibit this, allowing schools systems to decide requests on an individual basis.
