"Science" textbook for Christian schools can't even explain electricity

i don't know much about this, but my understanding is that there is no regulation of private schools. No public accreditation process. i could be wrong.

i think accountability is just can the kids pass the SAT at the end. i don't know.

The fact is that anybody can home school, and there is no oversight. You can leave your kid completely illiterate if you choose, and there will be no legal consequence.

There are accreditation bodies, but isn't membership voluntary?

In my school people have study skills classes. It's not the same as study hall, but it can function that way for many kids.
