[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644744, member: 1550"] GM, I'm sorry. I didn't explain. In Wisconsin, the state can not badger a homeschooling parent at all. And they don't. See, I homeschooled for a year and know the ropes here and have made contacts with homeschoolers. There are no standards. Any parent can homeschool. You can do whatever you want. You don't have to report to anybody. You can "unschool" which is teaching through life, not a curriculum because nobody checks. Many parents of problematic kids decide to homeschool rather than dealing with public school harassment and threats to call CPS etc. Some parents also don't want their children to be put on medication and homeschooling takes that out of the picture too. Some schools can be very obnoxious to you and your child if you choose not to medicate. Many homeschool parents want to incorporate strong religious values into the child's education so they homeschool, choosing it over paying huge fees to private schools. Many families think homeschooling is a very family bonding experience and it can be. For me it just gave me a headache!!! I have seen many homeschooled kids do great and go onto college in spite of it. And, although I don't personally know of anyone who did this, that also opens things up for a parent to abuse his/her child without getting caught. I'm sure that has happened. But this is Wisconsin. Each state is different regarding homeschooling. [/QUOTE]
