In Virginia, we had to do end of the year testing for math and language arts, but it didn't really play a role in what we taught in our homeschool.

I really think if you live where you can teach what you want that you are very fortunate. They have regulations in this state and your child has to pass yearly testing by the school board to make sure they are keeping up with their peers in the school system.

I have to say that I take my hat off to you, I wouldn't know where to start and honestly don't know if I could do it…so you and every other homeschool "teacher" gets a big thumbs up from me! Have a great weekend & God Bless!

great informative post my friend

here in New Zealand we are required to teach the basics.

I decided to go with the New Zealand Correspondence School in the middle of last year. To ease my load – last year was very difficult.

B14 studies English both with the school and also his private tutor whom he sees twice a week, Maths, Science and Home Economics.

Like you we were able to choose our course of study and were able to change one of the courses last year. We had started with computer studies instead of science but B14 finds the keyboard VERY challenging so we swapped to science and he lOVES it

happy home schooling my friend
we get started again after the summer/Christmas holidays on Tuesday
