Pennsylvania has arguably the worst homeschooling statutes in the United States. (Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Mississippi are also in the running.)

Enemy’s schools, enemy’s rules. Full privatization is the only way.

Pennsylvania has arguably the worst homeschooling statutes in the United States. But it can be done -- find a sympathetic evaluator, know how to "check off" what the school expects to see each year and be sure to keep any and all documentation. It also helps a lot if you can get them into a community college early. I homeschooled my son from 9-12th grade and daughter from 6th-12th grade in PA and both have been fine, my son was even accepted into the FBI. Or, there might be some church-based schools they can get their kids into, hopefully after reading this story someone will contact the family.

You don’t even have to notify the district to homeschool in NJ. It’s recommended that you notify the school district if you’re pulling your kid out, however.

A state senator is trying to make it very difficult, but the legislature doesn’t seem interested.

I was not aware of that about home schools in Pennsylvania.
