By 1989 the vast majority states had made peace with homeschoolers, with only a few states holding out into the early 1990s. Oversight of homeschooling today differs widely from state to state some states have no oversight at all while others impose various requirements such as testing or curriculum approval. The story of the legalization of homeschooling is really fifty different stories: Some states saw education policy change without the need for legislative action, some added only a few words or a sentence to their statutes, and others composed and passed detailed homeschool statutes. Homeschoolers fought among themselves over how much oversight the laws should contain while some homeschoolers were comfortable with standardized testing and submitting curriculum plans, others felt that such requirements were oppressive. Homeschoolers responded to the changed situation by turning from the local level to the state level, petitioning state legislatures to change laws to accommodate for homeschooling. For all these reasons, the head of one secular homeschooling group call the mid-1980s вЂњthe look over your shoulder time.вЂќ Also in play was the fact that some school officials felt threatened by the growing number of homeschoolers. It was at this point that the legal battles began in earnest as homeschoolers found themselves faced with newly uncooperative local public school officials and the negative feedback cycle that ensued as officials responded even more negatively when faced with litigation. These were evangelical and fundamentalist Christians engaged in culture wars rhetoric about public schools as вЂњSatanic hothouses.вЂќ Given credibility by Focus on the Family founder James Dobson and initial support by Moore, these newer homeschoolers took an antagonistic outlook toward public school administrators and were unwilling to cooperate with public schools they saw as evil. In the early 1980s, Moore stated that in 80 to 90% of all cases, вЂњlocal public school administrators and primary teachers вЂ¦ are understanding.вЂќ In those cases where homeschoolers faced challenges, organizations founded by Holt and Moore offered help in mediating with local officials and, if needed, legal aid.Дuring the 1980s the tenor of homeschooling changed as a new wave of individuals entered the movement.

Early homeschoolers generally worked with their local school boards, meeting requirements and submitting their home education plans. When Holt and Moore first began advocating homeschooling, educating children at home was legal in every state, but subject to varying regulations, which were sometimes quite stringent (for example, six states required parents to have teaching licenses).

MooreвЂ™s 1981 Home Grown Kids quickly became popular and was often the first book homeschoolers read. Soon after HoltвЂ™s arguments inspired the first homeschoolers, HoltвЂ™s friend educational theorist Raymond Moore added his voice, arguing that early schooling was detrimental to children and that children should be schooled at home until age eight or nine in order to give them a firm educational, psychological, and moral foundation. Holt called for parents to liberate their children from formal education and instead follow a method today known as вЂњunschooling.вЂќ Early Holt followers connected through HoltвЂ™s newsletter, Growing Without Schooling, which was founded in 1977. The modern homeschool movement began in the 1970s when John Holt, an educational theorist and supporter of school reform, began arguing that formal schoolsвЂ™ focus on rote learning created an oppressive classroom environment designed to make children compliant employees.
