Verder moet ouers volgens die Kinderwet in hul kinders se beste belange optree, en ouers wat dit nie doen nie, kan vervolg word, en kan by skuldigbevinding, gevonnis word tot 10 jaar tronkstraf en ’n boete. Dit is dus baie belangrik om jou kind só te leer dat dit in sy beste belang is, en om hom só te leer dat sy volle persoonlikheid ontwikkel word.

Apart from the SA Schools Act there is also other legislation applicable to parents of home learners, for example the UNCRC (the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Children) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, both of which have been signed and ratified by South Africa. This means that the contents of the documents are applicable to the law in South Africa. According to these documents parents have to ensure that their children’s personalities are fully developed. According to the Children’s Act parents have to act in their children’s best interests, and parents who fail to do so, can be prosecuted and upon conviction sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment and a fine. It is therefore very important to teach your child in such a manner that it is in his best interest and so that his personality is fully developed. It is impossible to do so if the requirements of the education department have to be met.
