We homeschool in MA. I don't understand why people (HSLDA) think that it is so challenging. I send in an ed plan for my kiddos and an end of the year progress report, both of which are very basic and not time consuming. Case laws dictate the laws around homeschooling, so yes we report to our school districts rather than dealing with the state. And yes, every school district may deal with homeschoolers differently, BUT those districts are bound by the laws. There is no option for receiving money to homeschool here. Funding for homeschooling often comes with requirements and oversight that many of us do not want. We would rather have the freedom to choose how we want to homeschool.
I did not know that you could get paid to homeschooling. I knew HSLDA had grants for families that struggle financially. I think that is amazing. I love this video, and think it's great that you brought this up!
I live in Michigan, and am so thankful for that after living in Florida that is more strict. I think as parents, we should not have to report to the government what we decide to do with our children's education. Now in saying that, I understand there are parents who homeschool to abuse their kids. But I think those cases are very few and far between. So the rest of us shouldn't have to suffer for it. Lol
Great video, thanks for sharing, we homeschool in Vermont and even though it is more challenging, you have options to choose each year on submitting a portfolio, testing or teacher evaluation. No attendance is required. As and unschooling family we submit portfolios each year and it is nice to have a snapshot of some of the fun learning we did together. I would love to have more groups and outings be homeschooler friendly during the day. I think that since we are a small state with a low population, it is challenging to find other homeschoolers.
I’m in Indiana and love that we don’t have to report anything at all. When we decided to homeschool, my kids were still in my pre-k and I didn’t have to register her as a homeschooler. You can opt to register as a homeschooler here but it’s definitely not required. I’ve debated on moving to a different state because of how lenient it is.
Govt never gives you anything for free. This can result in home visits, mandatory testing, background checks on all household members, outlawing gun ownership in the household for the law abiding citizens, even if school shootings happen on school premises. See the recent bill introduced in Missouri, politicians wanted to outlaw legal gun ownership for homeschooling families, and Missouri is a conservative state. I am not getting into politics, but I will not be left without protection for my children if if a criminal breaks into my house and wants to harm my family. Please educate yourself before giving the wrong advice. This can slowly lead to imposing so many regulations on homeschoolers that families will be forced to enroll the kids back in the public schools. Please read folks and educate yourself first.
We used to live in Texas, they are very homeschool friendly. We are currently in NC and we have to file a Notice of Intent to homeschool and they also require End of Year Testing, it's not as bad as other states though.
Your in tn? We’re in Florida and love our freedom but we want to move north for seasons! Just so nervous! We have a ton of co ops here!! We are looking to go to Ohio because of family. But man idk
Born and raised in AZ and I homeschool 3 kids elementary age and I got about $2K for each kid per semester when I lived there. I live in Idaho now and leaving that money for school supplies, curriculums, extracurricular activities and even indoor/outdoor activities (I.e. trampoline, mud kitchen, P.E. supplies) was difficult to say the least lol. Idaho has something similar but requires testing and a teacher to follow up with weekly which makes it not even worth it. It’s also not anywhere close to the same amount of money.
An umbrella school is a school that you sign up under and they do all the paperwork for you to the state. It’s also a way to get around testing or vaccines if you don’t want to do those things. They usually require you to turn in attendance and grades at the end of each semester.
I live in Ontario Canada... and we are the most lenient province here in Canada. No grants or money given here but I know other provinces do! The more regulated you are, the more money they give you here.
Ohio finally codified homeschooling into law last year, and it was a huge win for homeschoolers. It is no longer subject to any board of education or government officials. We only have to notify and no longer have a required number of school hours nor do we have to supply the superintendent with a description of our curriculum and other activities for the school year. The biggest change for us is testing and assessments are no longer required. So yeah, Ohio is a much easier and less intimidating state to homeschool now
I homeschooled 2 children for 12 years, back in the 1990's. I would not accept funds, because then they can tell you what to teach and what not to teach.
I live in Idaho. It is very easy to homeschool here. Our government started doing education grants. I applied for one, but I won't do it again. The more I think about it, I don't want to give the government any say in our homeschool. It is also frustrating that the grant is available to public school as well. There are parents using the money to buy legos and such. Hardly anyone uses it for actual curriculum. (Yes I know you can incorporate legos into learning)
So interesting. I might have missed this. Question: what if you are on state that requires immunization... and you don't want your child to get this... could you have an exemption?
Please stop telling people to accept money from the government as a homeschooling family that comes with strings attached and changes that can result in outlawing homeschooling. HSLDA clearly advises against it.
Hello daisy❤ This is a good video that I've ever seen, friends are always connected, if friends need authentic Indonesian recipes, I make them, I complete your language for each video so you can try Indonesian dishes, greetings from Indonesia, friends

I agree with you, I rather have the freedom and no funding. I don't want anyone telling me what I can and can't teach.
I did not know that you could get paid to homeschooling. I knew HSLDA had grants for families that struggle financially. I think that is amazing. I love this video, and think it's great that you brought this up!
Thank you! I hope it helps some people.

I agree with you!! I hate that we have to do it because we are responsible but your right, there are some people that abuse the system 😔
Florida has been making great strides under DeSantis. They now provide parents with an $8000 stipend.

Yea I could see how that’s difficult.

Wow that is super lenient. There’s a few states like that. I would love not having to do the paper work though.

Good advice on the grants! I never heard of it before.
Yea that’s how it is in TN. It’s not terrible I just rather not have to do anything 😂

hello my friend our best regards, thank you for sharing 🔔🔔❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
We are in Georgia, and Georgia has less requirements than Tennessee. In fact, they took away the attendance reporting requirement a few years ago.
Yeah I get 9,000 a year per child in arizona
Awesome Daisy can u explain what is an umbrella school?
An umbrella school is a school that you sign up under and they do all the paperwork for you to the state. It’s also a way to get around testing or vaccines if you don’t want to do those things. They usually require you to turn in attendance and grades at the end of each semester.

I’ve heard that too. That is the reason a lot of people rather not have the money. They don’t want the government input.

Alabama is a great state to homeschool in!
I’ve heard a lot of people say that!

Have you talked about education vouchers already?
So interesting. I might have missed this. Question: what if you are on state that requires immunization... and you don't want your child to get this... could you have an exemption?
Usually yes but it depends on the state. You can also get around this with an umbrella school.
Idk if you know but Puerto Rico made it a constitutional right.
So in TN if you're under an umbrella school do you still test? I don't like the idea of testing or submitting medical records to the state.
No you don't, that's why we do it. You just need to turn in attendance and grades at the end of each semester.
Ohhhh that makes me feel better! We’re considering TN when my hubby retires but I was worried about the requirements.
New York is pretty serious, but not strenuously hard.
Cheers to 600subscribers🥂🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thank you!!! ♥️
Also Florida kids can go to early college free here while homeschooled. Do other states allow this?
I think most states do allow homeschooled kids to do community college in high school.
