According to Joel Fischer, J.D.,Legal Assistant to Tj Schmidt, Esq., with Home School Legal Defense Association "parents must provide 50% of the teaching in their homeschool program. We require parental involvement, and if a parent has completely delegated educational responsibility to a nonparent, we point out that this is essentially private schooling, not homeschooling".
