Daryl said: “I’m willing to bet that this text is wrong.” Why? According to the New Mexico DOE, parents who wish to home educate are required to submit annually a form in a process the DOE variously refers to as “notification,” “application,” or “registration.” According to Merriam-Webster, the basic meaning of “accredit” is “to give official authorization to or approval of.” If what the NM DOE reports on its website is correct (I haven’t read the statue(s) for myself, but I would be shocked, shocked!, I tell you, to find misinformation contained within a DOE website) it would seem that NM residents don’t have “official authorization or approval” to refrain from institutionalizing their children unless they have submitted a notification/application/registration form. In New Mexico, therefore, a registered family could well be said to be an “accredited home school.” See also the full wording of the contest eligibility requirements. |
