This is how it’s done. We step out of the system, out of the matrix, out if their control.

I wish I knew more about homeschooling. Don't they require a diploma like when you're given one in school? What's the equivalent to that at home? I'm not a certified teacher so how does it work from a legal standpoint. Curriculum requirements? It's not that easy at least for me to figure this out. Last thing I want is the state pestering me on some legality for child not being in school.
Each state has different laws. I am in Virginia and ours are very good, as VA is home to the Home School Legal Defense Association. We have here an organization called HEAV.org. They host a giant homeschool convention each year and there is a graduation ceremony. We did that with our oldest but will skip it for the youngest. Each year we were required to send a letter and a standardized test score in by August 1st. That was it. I picked curriculum and tests. When my oldest applied for college they accepted the transcripts I made and my son's SAT score, along with evidence that I sent in my last letter to the state. That was it. Keep in mind you have 8 YEARs before grades really matter to figure out what you're doing. These 2 resources helped me help my kid get a $90k scholarship: CollegePrepGenius.com (shows you how to take the SAT) and Setting the Record Straight, a book by Lee Binz on doung a transcript. Until high school, figure out what works and enjoy your kids.Those years are priceless. Ps. I used the CAT test each year ordered through Seton Testing... it's the easiest. Math and English only. That SAT prep course got my son's score way up and SATs seem to count for more with colleges when you're a homeschooler. He went from a 1070ish to a 1400. You'll never regret the decision. Ps. A lot of states have clawed their way into controlling as much as they can... and some ignorant parents willingly sign up for options the states have created.... so ask around with other parents in your state.
thank you!
No problem! I'm so happy for every single kid that gets their childhood back. I wish everone could, I truly do. Take as many days off as you need because you'll quickly find that about 1 hour of your tutoring equals about 10-20 wasted hours in a typical school-- it's really astounding how much more time your kids will get back. Once you see how bloated a lot of curriculums are with busy work... you'll be even more amazed!
This is a state by state thing. The state that we started homeschooling in, had zero proof requirements that you do anything at all. You simply inform your local school district that you're home schooling and that's that.
However, several years later we moved to another state that requires you to give the school system a curriculum that you're using to teach your children.
Read up on your state's home schooling laws... also, expect those laws to get more strict here soon if you live in a blue state. They NEED to indoctrinate our kids to keep their communist momentum going, so they're going to start making it hard to home school soon.
As far as the diploma goes, in most states the best you can get after homeschooling is to take the GED test and get a GED.
