Thank you. I even contacted HSLDA.org about amending it to NCLB, but I never heard back. I wonder why?/sarcasm.

The homeschooling laws in some states, esp. the Northeast, are asinine.

NJ is easy to home school in.

We homeschool in NJ, and, from what I've heard so far, it seems to be the most lenient state for homeschoolers in the nation. Rarely is NJ mentioned in homeschooling articles - it seems to be a little-known secret haven for homeschoolers. We aren't even required to notify the school district. (The local principal did threaten me with truancy charges once, but that was to get my child OUT of school, not INTO it -- long story).

Meanwhile, across the bridge, in PA, homeschoolers are required to file paperwork and so on. But, I've heard that PA also pays for homeschoolers to use K12. So, our relatives in PA often tell us how "wonderful" homeschoolers have it there. "Move back here. The state will PAY for your homeschooling." No thanks!
