But you don’t even have to notify the county to homeschool in Florida if you go through an umbrella school like we did. For all intents and purposes the umbrella schools are treated as private schools in this state. The Florida indoctrination system never had a clue I was homeschooling because I used an umbrella school.
To me going under an “umbrella” is giving some of your parental authority away to the “umbrella”.. . the only “umbrella” I need is the one my wife and I are holding :).... now we do network with other homeschool parents/kids who are part of Classical Conversations
I have no issue with the NOTIFICATION procedure.. the day they try to turn it into a “request” you can expect every homeschooler in Florida to march on Tallahassee you can bet on it....
