The state (in my case, Pa.) is the primary reason why my husband and I decided to homeschool our children.
Pa. is one of the more "regulated" homeschooling states and requires standardized testing in 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades. So far, my children are scoring well above the national average.

I'm sure your children have excellent teachers! I'm in PA too.

The state is the primary reason why my husband and I decided to homeschool our children. I guess it's kind of the same with us. We didn't want someone else's agenda, morals, goals, and schedule taking over our lives.
Our state requires testing every year. I discovered this spring that several kids were behind in math, which is why we're having Math Blitz this year.
