Why should your child have a HomeSchool Student ID card? Why should parents have a HomeSchool Educator ID card?
Discounts!!
Movie Theaters - Student discounts are often given at the discretion of local theater management, and almost always require presentation of a valid student ID card.
Retail and Dining - Many retail locations offer discounts for educational supplies. The possibilities are endless. Everyone needs school furniture, office supplies, software andschool clothes.
School Supplies - As a Home Educator, you are entitled to receive the same discounts as public or private school teachers. Musical instrument rental and purchases are often discounted when used for education. Special project assignment materials involving hardware, lumber and sporting goods can usually be obtained at a discount by presenting a Educator ID card.
Identification!!
Travel- Air, rail and bus transportation all require positive photo ID. Obtaining a photo ID for younger children can be difficult. State laws vary as to when a child can get a state issued ID. Generally, state governments do not issue a photo ID to children under the age of 12.
Photo ID required for PSAT, ACT, SAT - For the last six years, HomeSchool ID cards have been accepted as ID in testing centers nationwide.
Photo ID required to obtain Learners Permit for Driving - The cycle of needing an ID card to obtain an ID card is a constant problem. The HomeSchool ID card contains all the necessary information to make the process simple. Remember, you may need other required documentation, but a photo ID is almost always required.
Protection from Truancy Issues in Public - One of the advantages to home schooling is that we are able to teach our children to be independent, both in thoughts and actions. Current truancy statutes generally intimidate home school families and children into staying at home, behind closed doors. Our children need the freedom to go to the playground, a neighbor's house, the corner convenience store, a part-time job or volunteer activities.
Educational Validation!!
Validates Student Status - Every home schooled student has different needs and schedules for his or her education that do not necessarily match up with traditional school hours. Often, home schoolers may travel during public school hours for field trips, park days, support group meetings, attendance at group classes, museums etc.
Promotes Self-Confidence - Students of all ages are proud to have their own Student ID...just like public school students, but better!
Displays Pride in Home Schooling - Students and educators, alike, feel validated and, as a result, love to proclaim their home school status.
