Starting Homeschooling Step Two-Know the Law
When individuals begin to consider homeschooling, they are often filled with uncertainty and a little bit of fear. How do I do it? What should I know? What if I don’t do a good job? . . .
However, a great place to start is to get to know your state homeschool law.
In some states, there are more detailed guidelines and concrete standards such as Pennslyvania Homeschool Laws and California homeschooling laws, in others, parents don’t need to do much to comply. However, knowing where your state stands up front, before you begin to explore your options, will help to define what and where you begin to research homeschool options.
Once you have those under your belt, the possibilities are endless!
For a quick link to the laws in your state, click State Laws in the United States then select your state.
