    AFAIK, there are no requirements for homeschool "teachers". I could be
    wrong, and it may vary from state to state. Just yesterday I corresponded
    w/ a woman in GA who homeschools, to find out why she does. I asked her 3
    questions: 1. Why do you homeschool, 2. What is your educational
    background, and 3. Do you "farm out" subjects like PE and Art to others.

    I know I sound like a total bitch about this, but her reply indicated, shall
    we say, a lack in the educational dept. She says both she and her husband
    completed HS in the public school system. She also says she doesn't think
    that only having a HS education is relevant. I think that's scary.
