Dear HSLDA Members and Friends, This morning, while radio host Tom Roten was interviewing Delegate Margaret Anne Staggers and me live on WVHU, Del. Staggers said that she did not support her own bill, H.B. 2749, the sports access bill, as written. Your phone calls had an impact!

Seriesly, good for you folks in WV. Surprisingly, I found it not difficult at all to homeschool in MA. I met with the Asst. Supt. of our town's School System, the first year we homeschooled, when our kids were in Middle School. I'd already sent her the course schedule for the kids, and she just asked if there was anything she could do for me. I told her, "no, thanks". Some folks didn't like the idea that they had to meet with anyone, but it was not a problem for me. I'm sure she wants to meet with everyone, just to make sure we know what we're doing.
We had to provide the school dept. with some evidence that they'd done some work during the year, but they didn't want loads of samples. Then, when they each turned 16, I no longer had to report on them, because that's the age where 'Compulsory Education' ends.
At that point, they were registered with a private school, out of state, so it could 'credential' their work, so they'd have transcripts and a diploma, to make it easier when applying for college. I did NOT want to have to do portfolios for each college to which the kids applied. Turns out, they each only applied to one college, anyway, but it sure made it easier to keep up with their paperwork, since I had to send it to the school at the end of every year.
