Do you know your state homeschool laws? For each grade? Do they differ? Some states have the same laws for each grade, so don't. Do you know what the homeschool laws in your state are? There are some very handy charts and .pdf files on HSLDA Homeschool Laws. There are 2 different pages per state. This page takes you to a map of the US. It has different colors for different genres of homeschool laws, according to their regulation level.You will notice:
If you look at a few other states than your own, you may notice things that your state does or does not have. Reading the Adobe .pdf in its entirety will help you understand your state chart better, too. In the past year, as we have discussed a possible move, I have looked at about a dozen different state's homeschool laws. Some states have different laws for high school that are more strict as far as attendance, subjects, and who can teach than others are. Our state is not like that. It got me thinking because I have been so worried about meeting the state public high school requirements. As I looked closer, I realized that our state has no differentiation in its homeschool laws for lower grades and high school. When I looked again this week, I looked with fresh eyes and realized this. I felt so relieved. Also, a few months ago, I received an IM from a total stranger who had decided to homeschool and had been told only one of the options in her state to homeschool. When I first spoke to her, she had already 'enrolled' her daughter in the 'program', even though she could have opted to homeschool herself with no program. They didn't tell her that. KNOW YOUR HOMESCHOOL LAWS! If you are moving, learn about your new state's homeschool laws before you move so you will be prepared when you get there. blessings!
