Absolutely. Especially in a state where its almost illegal to homeschool.

I can teach college or university but I cant homeschool my kids under current law in this state, so I had to compromise. Go figure!

My understanding was that homeschooling was legal in all fifty states...

What state are you in?

I see from your profile that you live in Virginia.

There are many options for homeschoolers here. You don't have to have a teaching credential. (although if you don't, there are some reporting requirements.)

If you have a bachelor's degree, you can set your own curriculum, as I do for my child.

You must describe the curriculum (a general description, not a full detailed curriculum) you choose but that is all. Then you must show academic progress at the end of the year, and there are several ways to do that.
We have our son take standardized tests.

If you don't have a bachelor's degree, you can use any curriculum that meets the state standards of learning, icluding state-approved correspondence courses.

Some make choose to take the state's religious exemption and they are free from both oversight of curricula and academic progress.
