Comment on The Drawbacks of homeschooling by Ed Benevides

A person named Adrian Hargray wrote this article. He hardly lookd old enough to be out of school himself. He’s written 228 articles according to Articlesbase.com. Amoung the articles he’s written are many on dating, relationships, marketing, and OUTSOURCING YOUR ARTICLE WRITING AND WHETHER ITS FOR YOU. He basically writes articles as a way of getting people to his website which sells ebooks which look to be a bunch of junk. I have a feeling that he outsourced this article. In any case, I agree with you that he’s clueless about homeschooling.

Thanks for your comment. Because I have never experienced the lack of a homeschool law, I cannot disagree with you. However, I can share that the majority of homeschoolers easily meet the academic requirements of the law. Therefore, if you focus on the affidavit, portfolio and evaluation you will find it easy to follow. And most evaluators and very willing to help with suggestions or answer questions as needed.

Sometimes the fact that there is a law can intimidate people; however, it is actually fairly simple to follow. Please feel free to drop me a note when you are here in PA and I will be happy to spend some time talking you through the dos and don’ts

As for the affidavit, if you file within a few weeks of arriving you should have no problem. If the school district responds negatively, just keep calm and be friendly. In many cases they themselves are not super familiar with the law. However, if things get rough, ask them to send a certified letter. That said, I am certain you will have no problem. The individuals who supervise the homeschool programs are usually very gracious and helpful.

We’re moving to PA in the fall. We’ve researched the PA Homeschool law and can’t find how long we have to file an affidavit. Does the law provide for a specific time period for ano affidavit to be filed after moving in?

I enjoyes your article, but I respectfully disagree with you on the desirability of the PA homeschool law. We’ve homeschooled in GA, VA, and FL and find PA’s homeschool law unnecessarily complex, intrusive on our right to homeschool, too differential to the judgment of bureaucrats, and at the same time too vague where it shouldn’t be like in my question above. If this restrictive law is the price of legal predictability, it’s too high a price.

Christina, How old is your child? You don’t have to file an affidavit, objectives or portfolios and evaluations until they are 8 years old (typically 2nd grade level). Just make sure you turn them in for the school year they will turn 8 during. This is my first year homeschooling and I am pulling my Daughter out of PS. She is already 8 so this will be our first year for all the nitty gritty stuff and I have 2 younger sons (early Pre school and P-K levels) They don’t need evaluations for several more years
