<p>My kids have been homeschooled from the get-go, and up until 2000 (when we moved) they were homeschooled in California. It is an odd arrangement there, but I recall many homeschooling families that felt very strongly they had an ideal situation. I never quite agreed with that. It was too wobbly from a legal point of view. Still, each year we filled out our private school affadavit and sent it in. </p>
<p>It does feel more secure now that we’re in a state with specific legislation regarding homeschooling. The requirements are simple and not oppressive. My kids are beyond the compulsory attendance laws now anyway, so it’s not an issue for us anymore, but I do prefer to be in a state where the right to homeschool is clearly and explicitly written into the law.</p>
