WPA is Now WHPA!

August 19, 2020 Wisconsin Parents Association’s Board of Directors has voted to change our name. We are excited to announce that WPA’s name has evolved to Wisconsin Homeschooling Parents Association (WHPA). We feel this change respects our organization’s history, while also acknowledging the contemporary needs of homeschoolers in Wisconsin. We believe it will help homeschoolers find us, as the addition of “homeschooling” to our name makes us more searchable online. We believe the addition of “homeschooling” will also make it easier for legislators to recognize our important role in Wisconsin as the only state-wide grassroots homeschool organization, and the very

28. Day-Time Curfews, Truancy Sweeps, and ID Cards for Homeschoolers (5/98)

Whereas state and local governments and public and private agencies are using increasingly repressive measures to try to keep young people in school, including day-time curfews and police pick-ups of young people who are not inside a school building during “school hours;” and Whereas such repressive measures have not been shown to be effective in any case but rather have often been found to be counterproductive; and Whereas these measures are a severe infringement of people’s basic freedoms and civil liberties, including the freedom to be in public places and not be interrogated or arrested without reasonable evidence and due

07. Entry and Re-entry Into Public Schools (4/90)

Whereas home schooled students have consistently been shown to perform very well academically and socially; and Whereas entry/re-entry policies have been established without a demonstrated need or basis in fact by local public school districts in Wisconsin in response to or anticipation of Home-Based Private Educational Program students entering public schools; and Whereas approximately 4,000 former Home-Based Private Educational Program students have successfully entered conventional schools over the past five years without such policies being in effect; and Whereas such policies often discriminate against Home-Based Private Educational Program (HBPEP) students by applying different standards, criteria, and tests against HBPEP students

  • January 10, 2017 – A few words from WPA for the new year

    We are at the beginning of a new legislative session in Wisconsin as well as the beginning of a new federal administration. Homeschooling is gaining popularity and recognition, and many legislators see themselves as supporting homeschooling by offering special treatment to homeschoolers. We have a unique situation in Wisconsin that homeschoolers in most other states do not have. We have an enormous amount of freedom to homeschool in whatever way works for our family as long as we follow our reasonable homeschool law. All government favors come with the requirement of accountability. Taxpayers are right to expect accountability for how

    COVID-19 and Homeschooling

    Despite the Ongoing Pandemic, Nothing Has Changed in Wisconsin Homeschooling Law

    WHPA reminds all homeschooling parents that under Wis Stats 115.30(3), the PI-1206 Homeschool Report includes a statement of enrollment on THE THIRD FRIDAY IN SEPTEMBER, and shall be submitted on or before October 15. WHPA strongly encourages parents to know and understand their rights and responsibilities under Wisconsin law, and to do no more than the law requires. On August 24th, State Superintendent of Schools Carolyn Stanford Taylor issued a statement entitled COVID-19 Regulatory Flexibility Framework Provisions for the 2020-21 School Year 08/24/20. In this statement, DPI offers clear

    14. Education Vouchers (4/92)

    Whereas education vouchers being proposed at the federal and state levels of government would allow the government to define education and impose its values, judgments, and often its testing on people; and Whereas such education vouchers would not be available to the family but only to the institutions that the family selects and which the state certifies as eligible to receive voucher moneys from the state; and Whereas such education vouchers can easily lead to state control of education similar to a state religion and further control of families; and Whereas there are better and more direct ways for the

    March 24, 2022 – Reminders About Proposed “Micro Education Pods”

    WHPA has been working hard to preserve parental rights in Wisconsin, and opposing proposed “micro education pods” over the last year and a half. As of this writing, the proposed bill creating “micro education pods” is awaiting either approval or veto by Governor Evers. According to the Legislature’s 2021-22 Session Calendar, the next date that bills are scheduled to be presented to the Governor is April 14 (if it is presented to the Governor sooner, we will let you know). WHPA has again appealed to our members to speak up for parental rights by contacting Governor Evers

    12. State goals in education (4/92)

    Whereas in this country, educational goals are now chosen by students and parents, generally assisted by teachers; and Whereas the compulsory school attendance law requires attendance but does not and cannot dictate the outcome of that education (or there would be no freedom of thought or learning); and Whereas public schools provide a service for those who choose to use them; and Whereas the establishment of state goals in education would mean that the law would be requiring “education” rather than attendance; and Whereas this country was founded in large part on the basis of freedom of thought and belief

    Understand the Source

    Social Media

    Beware! Social media sites like Facebook are at best neutral for gauging the truth of information about homeschooling.

    A For-Profit Business

    Private businesses are often not aware of important legal issues that affect Wisconsin homeschoolers. Check twice on advice from sellers of private educational services, curricula, or even online or conference “expertise.”

    A Not-for-Profit Organization

    Not all nonprofits are the same: check into any group’s sources of funding, online reviews or criticisms, history, transparency, and local expertise.

    25. Maintaining the Fundamental Foundation of Parental Rights and Responsibilities (5/96)

    Whereas the primary rights and responsibilities of people are given by God or nature and not by the state; and Whereas parental rights and responsibilities for rearing children, especially in the areas of education, health, and welfare, are so fundamental that they cannot be realistically reduced to statutory or constitutional language; and Whereas the state does not now have at any level of government (federal, state, or local) the authority to direct how a child should be educated, cared for, or nurtured; (For example, compulsory school attendance laws require attendance but do not require education.) and Whereas once people ask

    38. Public E-Schools (5/02)

    Whereas public e-schools are public schools that are located in homes by means of a computer and the requirements and oversight of federal and state governments; and Whereas these schools are often called homeschools and the public will undoubtedly view them as homeschools; and Whereas these public schools require state and federal testing of students; and Whereas such schools are required to meet federal and state standards; and Whereas such tests and standards will dictate the curriculum of the schools; and Whereas state and federally mandated curriculums eliminate any real choice in how an actual homeschool could have an education

    About Us

    “The essence of homeschooling is in the freedom to make our own choices, the freedom from any state regulation telling us when, where, how, or what in particular we must learn. Protecting this freedom is absolutely essential for us to realize the full benefits of homeschooling. Anything that diminishes that freedom, however slightly, turns me, to that extent, into an unpaid agent of the state, carrying out someone else’s directives as to how my children should learn.”

    —Roy Underhill’s Opening Remarks, 2002 WPA Conference

    09. Unity Among Home Schoolers (4/90)

    Whereas home schoolers come from all walks of life; they home school for a number of different reasons; and they use a variety of curriculums and approaches to education; however, they all have one thing in common, namely, their determination to preserve the right to choose for their children an education consistent with their beliefs and principles; and Whereas the Wisconsin statutes defining private schools (including home schools) resulted from the hard work of the full range of home schoolers and people involved in other small private schools in this state; and Whereas home schoolers have organized themselves as Wisconsin

    Support and Socialization

    How can I find other homeschooling families? Homeschooling is not uncommon anymore. In larger areas, there may be support groups or other homeschool gatherings that might interest you. Using the internet or talking with other homeschooling families is a good way to find out what is going on in your area. In areas with smaller populations, spending time doing things you enjoy

    02. Wisconsin’s Home Schooling Law (4/88)

    Whereas the current law (1983 Act 512) regarding Home-Based Private Educational Programs (HBPEP) provides for (a) protecting the state’s interest in education by requiring that HBPEPs meet basic educational requirements and comply with the compulsory school attendance law; (b) protecting the parents’ rights by requiring that the information reported to the state and attested to by parents, while sufficient to protect the state’s interest, is not too burdensome or intrusive; does not violate constitutional, parental, and religious rights; and does not violate the principle of innocent until proven guilty; and (c) protecting the rights of children by allowing HBPEPs enough

    51. New Kindergarten Statute and Homeschooling (5/11)

    Whereas the recent five-year-old kindergarten statute will result in children being put under increased pressure socially, academically, and emotionally; and Whereas, in part due to Wisconsin Parents Association’s (WPA) work and testimony over the years opposing such legislation, it does not directly affect homeschoolers today but is confusing to homeschoolers and a cause of concern for what might happen as conventional schooling is being required at younger and younger ages; and Whereas the recent statute means:

    • enforcing truancy laws on five-year-olds enrolled in conventional schools
    • providing more money for public schools

    June 22, 2017 – Update to WI youth employment laws

    On June 21, 2017, Governor Scott Walker signed 2017 Act 11 into law.  This law eliminates the requirement that minors ages 16-17 obtain a work or street trade permit. A work permit is still required before anyone under the age of 16 is allowed to work in any job with the exception of agriculture or domestic service work. Employers must have a work permit on file for the minor being employed before they may allow the minor to begin work. Details on how and where to obtain a work permit are here.

    20. Privacy and Homeschooling (4/94)

    Whereas there are increasing efforts by government, researchers, schools, and big business interests to identify and track the behaviors, values, interests, abilities, buying habits, and risks of individuals and families in our society; and Whereas increasing efforts are being made to screen and evaluate children’s abilities and development and to assess how well families are preparing their children for school and the values of the school; and Whereas screening, labeling, and recording of information about young children may threaten a family’s freedom to homeschool; and Whereas identification and tracking systems and practices not only invade one’ privacy but also put
