Are not homeschoolers forced to follow the core curriculum?
I don’t know. Regulations vary from state to state.
I’m in NY and we were required to teach certain subjects but have the freedom to pick the curriculum or plan of instruction. The district didn’t approve it or disapprove it, only let us know if it met state standards.
It’s a kind of fine line differentiating between that and approval and disapproval, but they couldn’t tell us not to use it, but rather where it needed to be supplemented.
CA homeschoolers would be the ones to best answer that question, so I’m pinging out the list.

I homeschooled in CA. The state had nothing to do with what we taught. I was in an umbrella school, and wrote up a year-end report which became part of my son’s records.
