Does a parent need a high school diploma to homeschool their child?

The only qualification a parent needs is that they be the custodial parent of the child who is to be homeschooled. However, if the child receives instruction from someone other than the parent, that person needs to be a certified child educator. The same thing applies if a parent who is homeschooling their children decides to teach other children as well...the parent who is teaching those additional children would then need to have a teaching certificate.
Qualifications vary depending on the legislation in each state. A good resource is The Homeschool Legal Defense Association: hslda.org/laws

∙ 11y agoNo, the parent(s) do not need a high school diploma, as long as they know the responsibilities of homeschooling their child and can fulfill those responsibilities and are dedicated, that is all that is required. This is coming from a grade 8 student who is home-schooled by her mother which did not even pass grade 8. Hope this helped! :)

How do parents homeschool children in Tennessee?
you have to be a teacher to homeschool your child , you MUST have attended college for so many years under child devolpment. I ADVISE YOU IF YOU DON'T ANYTHING ABOUT IT DON'T HOMESCHOOL YOUR CHILD! Actually for grades K-8, in Tennessee, one parent is required to stay home to do the schooling and must have a high school diploma. You are required to log an attendance record which can be downloaded and printed. You also have to submit an intent to home school paper to your local superintendent's office before a certain date. There are many resources available to help parents with schooling their children. They vary from traditional textbook style teaching to online and DVD schooling. With so many forms of help available, a parent can easily teach a subject they're not the most knowledgeable about.
