Yes, every year we must fill out a form listing our anticipated curriculum and take a test or submit a letter from a certified teacher stating our children have improved.

If you submit to those requirements, I am not criticizing you. I would say, however, that I probably would not.

We began home schooling in Florida in 1982. We ran in to officialdom’s scorn, but refused to submit to testing or submitting anything, as I am of the absolute conviction that a state and county that makes an utter mess of young people should not be allowed the idea that it can tell me what is best for my children. That is the stand we take, and went through the wringer for it, but stood, and they eventually came to the place of having to decide whether to send the sheriff or find their own reasons for leaving us alone. They decided on the latter.

Our stand more or less then set the precedent in that county, at least for the next seven years that we resided in Florida.
