We're in GA, too. Kayla already shared the laws for our state. It's pretty simple...though Oklahoma sounds quite appealing!
Well we actualy use an American umbrella. Don't know if that is actualy legal or not, but so far as I could see, being enroled under them meets the privet school criteria of the law. Probably not what they (law makers) had in mind for privet school students, but on them. :lol:
Wyoming here. Letter of intent yearly. A list of what your curriculum is to prove you are going to teach the basics, math, reading, literature,writing, civics, science, history. The law states you have to teach 175 days a year. But with no reporting or testing required.
We live in upstate SC. Our laws are 180 days a year. Keep a portfolo. Join an association. They don't bother you though. That's about it. It's easy.
We are just outside of Austin, tx. Like already posted tx is a hs friendly state. My county has tried to get local hs to turn in forms and such that hsld has brought a suit against and stopped. Power crazy school board. Aggie
We are in Central Florida (right outside of Orlando). We are going through an umbrella school, so according to the state we are in private school.
Texas.... No come on...we got it tougher than that...you left out the part where we had to teach "good" citizenship. ROFL "you must have a curriculum which teaches reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics and a study of good citizenship, and you must pursue that curriculum in a bona fide manner. So...they cover the fact that we ACTUALLY have to TEACH the kid. ROFL dang!!! We really do have it easy. Which is good and bad. Bad because there are those out there who don't follow through and teach the kids. (sigh).
We're in NY. NYC to be exact. The hs laws here stink, but living here makes up for it . Compulsory age is 6-17 and every year you need to send: -a letter of intent -a detailed home instruction plan -4 quarterly reports -an annual assessment -standardized test scores in 5th, 7th, and 9th-12th grades ...and everything has to be "in compliance" with the regulations. They also tell you what subjects to teach, how many hours of instruction are required, and you're put on "probation" if all is not well. It's really a lot easier than it looks, though. But it would be nice to see all these regs disappear.
My sil used to live in upstate NY, and she told me how tough the hs law is there. She is relieved now, since they moved to GA! We live in FL. Letter of intent and yearly testing or evaluation. Different counties seem to have different regulations that they require or ignore. We lived in a smaller, rural county when our kids were younger, and it seemed so easy. Now we are in a urban/suburban district, and the hs requirements say that FL requires a record of attendance (180 days) First time I've ever heard that!
Ohio Ohio Grandma pretty much filled ya in here. It is a pretty easy state to hs in...not as easy as some but easy.
