Homeschooling: Finding the Right

Abstract

This article aims to articulate international researches dealing with the regulation of homeschooling, in order to contribute to the shaping of a Brazilian legislation on the subject. Understanding that the practice of homeschooling should be guaranteed as a right in the sphere of fundamental individual freedoms and of family power, the author proposes that the Brazilian State should promote only a minimal regulation, one that initially ensures that parents are able to successfully implement a teaching and learning program with their children, following the methods and techniques proposed by homeschooling, while, as much as possible, developing cooperative relations with teachers, schools and other educational and research institutions, all guided by the purposes, ideals and principles inscribed in the legislation that deals with national education.

Keywords
