The paperwork works well for us in Massachusetts. We have to file an outline of our curriculum at the beginning of the school year.

Seton homeschooling sends us a twenty-page outline at the beginning of the year (for our standardized curriculum) that we forward along with our computerized form letter to the superintendent of the public schools. It only takes us about five minutes, which is probably the amount of time that they spend opening the envelope and throwing it away.

as a homeschooler in California, i don't have to turn in outlines or objectives (at this time)... however, i do them anyway--for me... it helps me... but some of these home educators in Pennsylvania sound like they think--"good thing they make us do this, because it really helps me." well, why couldn't they still do it for themselves even if the government doesn't require it? why do they think they need to be held accountable by the government? my husband and i hold ourselves accountable because we love our children and want the best education for them--and having objectives helps us give them that... not because someone is looking over our shoulders...

I see, so I don't have the right to teach my children? The public schools are the ONLY ones capable of teaching my children.

Excuse me, but I have a parental RIGHT to teach my children as I see fit, and if that means that they will be homeschooled, it's NONE of the States, nor the Local nor the federal governments business.

IT IS A RIGHT people, not a priviledge, and until we begin to tell these low lifes that they will not be allowed to infringe on our rights to teach our children as we see fit, then they will continue to abuse us.

Homeschooling is a RIGHT, not a priviledge!! Remember that!!

Rights cannot be given by the state nor the federal government, NOR can they be taken away, UNLESS we allow it!!

And boy have we allowed it, time to get our rights back!!

I have the right to homeschool, WITHOUT interference from the state or federal government!!
