They have to take the state issued test to move into the next grade
There are many opportunities for a parent to become involved in their child's education through online schooling (Connections Academy, K12).
No. A child's education is the responsibility of the parent, and a child cannot be homeschooled without the parent registering them as a homeschool student with the local government or school district. A parent must give their written approval of whatever education their children are recieving.
Absolutely zero, in any state. Anyone can do it.
Having not graduated from high school is not a demonstration of a lack of intelligence or learning.
You are describing a truant and in some cases the parent and child would have to go to court.
Technically, the parent is responsible for their child's education. However, many homeschool parents find it beneficial for an older sibling to teach a certain topic or subject to a younger sibling. In most places there is nothing illegal about this, so long as the parent ensures that the child is learning what they should learn it doesn't matter who teaches it to them.
Homeschool curriculum are the objectives that your child will taught during homeschool and the order in which they will be taught. These are the lessons that will taught to your child from you or the instructor, whomever is doing the teaching for the child.
No, education is a requirement for all by law. If one chooses to homeschool their child, be they biological, adopted or foster, the parent/caretaker/guardian does NOT get paid but incurs all expenses required to provide the education of the children AND will be required to follow and obey their state's homeschool laws as well.
You don't hire homeschool teachers. If you are the parent of a child and you decide to homeschool them, it means that you are taking on the responsibility of being their teacher. Otherwise, it's a tutor. (I speak from my own personal knowledge - I'm a homeschooled kid.)
There are many positives to homeschooling your child. Such things as direct parent involvement, controlling the curriculum, and maintaing a balanced lifestyle are among them.

Yes. Your parents can say that they are homeschooling and then hire a certified teacher to teach you. Parents who are also certified teachers may homeschool their own children as well. However, in most places this is not required and parents may teach their children without any degree or legal certification.
In most places, no. Most governments and school districts do not require the parent to have any sort of license or degree to home educate their own children, however some places do require parents to have a legally recognized degree in education or teaching in order to educate their child at home.
