[…] We should not be surprised when officials are misinformed or confused by South Carolina’s homeschool law. It’s a little complicated with the three options. So, it’s especially important for us homeschoolers to know what’s required (and what’s not required). […]

Thank you fro all the great information. As a public school parent I am so glad there are options. I too am agree with the statement “Many public school parents are boycotting standardized testing requirements because of this.”

The testing is not accomplishing the direct objective for public school students and defiantly should not be forced on homeschoolers who work one on one with parent/teacher everyday.

In reply to Melanie @ Tree Valley Academy. That is what we have "option 1"--thru the school district/school board and whatever their interpretation and limited understanding is. Only a handful of homeschoolers do that here. Although, I was crazy enough to do it for a while!

I live in Quebec Canada and the laws are different here, but I find it very interesting that you have 3 different options, and an accountability association. We don’t have any kind of options here. I know the laws where I live but putting them in practice with school boards that all have their own interpretation of the laws is a different story. Last week, I went to my daughter’s school and asked to speak to the principal. I told the principal I wanted to homeschool my daughter and was told he didn’t know the procedures but would contact the school board and get back to me. I went back a few days later to see if there was something I was supposed to sign or something but still they didn’t know. I’ve been waiting for an email they are supposed to send me all week. We’ll see what happens but where I live it doesn’t have the reputation of being very friendly to homeschoolers.

I have a daughter in public school, but found this a very interesting and informative read. It’s very curious that home school responsibilities change based on what option they have used to identify (or not) themselves. I can certainly imagine it would be frustrating to suddenly have to follow public school testing rules – when you chose to home school in order to create your own curriculum standards. I’m so impressed with your dilligence and commiyment to knowing your rights. What a great teacher and role model you are to your kids!
