In the state I live in homeschooling is not a problem, there is NO governmental (at any level) input into what you teach at home, and to show enough progress to keep out of the system's view, all yo have to do is have an independent evaluation done each year to show the child has either 1)progressed to the next "grade" level or 2) has progressed comensurate to the child's abilities. That takes about 30 minutes, you use whatever licensed teacher you wish for the eval. whether they are teaching or not is immaterial, and usually costs about $25 (or a case of homemade preserves on year when money was tight. )



You aren't helping the child by keeping them unregistered as a citizen. Citizenship, rights to inheritance, ability to get into a field of work that may be that child's dream but you can't teach it off the books. You can homeschool through high school, I even did a bit of the college level and tutored at all those levels. But when it gets to post-high school for the child's education to be recognized by most entities so they can perform in the field of their choice, you as a parent, have severely limited them by having them undocumented.



Thinking outside the box is good. That's how the return to homeschooling movement has moved so far in this country. You just have to make sure you aren't denying the child of their potential future. The only part that's outside the box is the "registering for an SSN" part. There are legal ways now to avoid immunizations if that is your preference.In the state I live in homeschooling is not a problem, there is NO governmental (at any level) input into what you teach at home, and to show enough progress to keep out of the system's view, all yo have to do is have an independent evaluation done each year to show the child has either 1)progressed to the next "grade" level or 2) has progressed comensurate to the child's abilities.
