Katy ISD Harasses Family
After withdrawing their child from Katy ISD in November, an Association member family continued to receive automated phone calls and a warning letter alleging that their child was absent. The family contacted THSC, and Tim Lambert wrote the district's attendance office, explaining the state's rules for withdrawing a child to homeschool him. He urged the district to cease its harassment of the family.

Homeschooling Through High School

Home schooling your high school student can often be more challenging than in his earlier years, especially with students who are planning to attend college. Some of these challenges are: biology and chemistry labs, higher-level math, essay-writing skills, and analyzing literature. As there are many excellent approaches in this endeavor, I will not attempt to explain the many options; rather, this article will explain the path my wife and I have chosen with our three sons. Daniel is a twenty-year-old senior at the University of North Texas, David is eighteen and in his second full year of college, and Eric is sixteen and is in his second year of high school. We desire that our three sons obtain college degrees, to give them an advantage in the job market. There are alternatives to college for some who have successful family businesses or others who might learn a trade through mentoring or apprenticeships.
