Ok... so Eastern KY.. what’s the scoop here?

Down home folk who haven’t quite given up? Poverty ? Crime ?

Oh Just a word to everyone out there with the TN recommendation:

Homeschooling in TN is just like PA. We have to register with the district, and we have to teach their curriculum. Also, we would have to prove ourselves to be qualified to teach (With a degree or certification) and we would need to submit immunization records to the district.

So it meets none of my requirements. It’s a nice state though.

“Ok... so Eastern KY.. what’s the scoop here?”

Very clannish. Very suspicious of outsiders. A handful of families are extremely influential in local politics. Suing other people — especially anyone with a deep pocket or insurance — is the main occupation there; it is a real cottage industry.

Eastern Kentucky people are suspicious of outsiders. They are not inclined to take to new people. (I say this all generally, of course.)

Berea, while not exactly eastern, would be a little different, though it's full of a bunch of wannabe hipsters with a mountain edge. For someone from the east coast, it would be tough to deal with.

Tennessee, for some reason, offers a better atmosphere.
