Defending Parental Rights: Updating State Homeschool Laws (Part 2) | An Interview with Amy Buchmeyer

HSLDA is committed to continually improving homeschool laws in every state—like HSLDA's attorney for Ohio, Amy Buchmeyer, just assisted with! Ohio's archaic homeschool law, dating back to the 1980s, was finally updated thanks to the tireless work of homeschool families alongside HSLDA. Join Amy and Jim Mason (HSLDA President) in a conversation about the evolving legal landscape across the states, as well as the increased media attention on homeschooling. Amy, a homeschool graduate turned attorney, will share her unique perspective on defending homeschooling rights and the significant improvements she helped achieve. "There's something about being homeschooled, about getting to have the space to learn at your pace, to learn with your family, to get out and have hands-on learning. You don't always get that when you're sitting at a desk from 8 to 3. When I was homeschooled, I could read in a tree. I could do all kinds of things to keep myself engaged in the learning process. And it worked. My mom instilled in all five of us (children) a love of learning, a love for the Lord, and a good relationship with my parents. We've turned out pretty well."—Amy Buchmeyer
