Starting Homeschooling Step Two-Know the Law
Jul 13th, 2008 | By Jessica Parnell | Category: New to HomeschoolingHowever, 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!

Does your child love to get dirty and explore the world around him?
Is she a child who loves to sit down and listen as you read a story?

Is she one who can connect events and experiences to lessons in life?
Does he seem to thrive when able to create with his hands?
Does she naturally "get it" the first time she hears it?
These kinds of questions can help to define the best kind of learning approach for your child.
