Nevada Homeschool Network Notification of Intent to Homeschool
Printable form to use to notify of intent to homeschool. Individual School Districts may no longer generate their own Intent Forms; they may only offer a standard statewide form made by the Department of Education. The exact wording is as follows: "The Nevada Department of Education shall develop standard Notification of Intent forms, which shall not require any information or assurances other than those required by law." What this means is that the Department of Education will make one form that the districts may hand out to homeschoolers. This does not, however, prevent a homeschooler from using another form of their own choosing.
The Myth of Teacher Qualifications
Most education officials publicly claim that teachers need special “qualifications” in order to be effective. As a result, public education organizations often promote legislation or an interpretation of the law which would require home school parents to have one of three qualifications: 1) a teacher certificate, 2) a college degree, or 3) pass a “teacher’s exam.” Although this seems reasonable on the surface, such requirements not only violate the right of parents to teach their children as guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments, but virtually all academic research documents that there is no positive correlation between teacher qualifications (especially teacher certification requirements) and student performance.
