LOL.....yes it is a beautiful State - but we're glad to be home.

We're homeschooling up here. When the legislature was trying to make the PA law look more like the Texas law we got involved. I actually had a homeschooling parent say that it was necessary for the state to oversee homeschooling to make sure the parents did a good job.

And, no, she wasn't being sarcastic!

I think it's something in the water.

Shalom.

We were a "mixed" family - one kid was homeschooled and the other was in a public HS.........lol She was taking all honors classes so it was kind of like being in a private school - the funny thing was that even in this public HS, they sang beautiful religious songs in the choir

Sure is more work on the home schooling parent to keep the records they require in PA .....

Agree with your thoughts on keeping state out of homeschooling - however I have seen some parents who are doing a sloppy on/off job of homeschooling - so....which is best - an official agency to test or deal with more uneducated young people?
