Our son has been doing badly in school and my son's school has been of no help at all. The plan is to homeschool him with an online program starting this month. Is the parent or guardian homeschooling the student in Texas required to be a certified teacher in order to homeschool? I would appreciate it if any other homeschool parent with homeschool experience can give some insight.

Hey Yes, you are permitted to homeschool your son in Mansfield. The Texas law doesn't require you to be certified to teach for you to homeschool. It is permitted by law. You just need to meet the statutory requirements to be homeschooled in Sherman, Texas. I suggest you take a look at this page which contains specific information about what is required to homeschool in Texas:

Got it. Thanks!

No problem! If you are in Texas, I think the Lernsys program is a very good option to homeschool your kids.
