95 percent of my flying is done from airports where there is no ATC..
no clearance required..

I agree, if the student is not ready to fly solo, he is not ready to taxi
solo.

My answer to the original question is "no." However, I take issue with
the statement that a clearance is required to taxi. When you
call,ground control, you get taxi instructions, not a clearance. The
ATCH specifically prohibits the use of the word "cleared" by ground
controllers.
