[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't home-educated children held to the same minimum standards as public school students? I'm European and it's illegal in almost all European countries. This is absurd. [/quote]

You don't know that they aren't. Regulations vary by state. [/quote]

I know the laws that in VA are very lax. That is where my relative homeschooled her kids who are now grown and don’t have jobs or independence. [/quote]

Op here. I researched briefly and it seems North Dakota is the only state in the US that requires a bachelor's degree. [/quote]
North Dakota: 15.1-23-03. Home education - Parental qualifications.
A parent may supervise home education if the parent:
1. Holds a[b] high school diploma or a general educational development diploma[/b]; or
2. Meets the requirements of section 15.1-23-06.

15.1-23-06. Home education - Required monitoring of progress.
A parent who does not meet the qualifications provided in section 15.1-23-03 may supervise home education but must be monitored in accordance with section 15.1-23-07 for the first two years. If a child receiving home education obtains a basic composite standardized achievement test score below the fiftieth percentile nationally, the parent must be monitored for at least one additional school year and until the child receives a test score at or above the fiftieth percentile.

This link says North Dakota in the only state that requires the parents to have a college degree. I think your info is old.
