Getting Started in Homeschooling

Starting Homeschooling Step Two-Know the Law

Jul 13th, 2008 | By Jessica Parnell | Category: New to Homeschooling

When individuals begin to consider homeschooling, they are often filled with uncertainty and a little bit of fear. How do I do it? What should I know? What if I don’t do a good job? . . .

However, 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!
