I agree it would be much easier if all states did everything the same way, but they do not. As for why do I homeschool, because I want to be the one who chooses what my child learns, not others. I will do a post on this topic, because I too have curiosities about why people send their kids to public schools, so stay tuned.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553319266378782849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847447345124723025.post-82491405377971574612009-08-05T22:25:01.234-04:002009-08-05T22:25:01.234-04:00Just in from work a short time ago, way too tired ...Just in from work a short time ago, way too tired to read your post, (will with fresh eyes). I find the differences state to state fascinating and frankly stupid. Differences exist in standard education, in requirements for teachers, so home school seems no different. But, it makes no sense to me...none what so ever. I know many people think each state goernment should have more rights than a National Government...but why? Are kids in one state less intitled? Do teachers in one state need to be more educated, or less educated? I really think thats crazy. My daugher got her 2 undergraduate degress in Missouri, her Masters in Maryland and wanted to be qualified to teach all grades in both states. She took not less than 12 different tests. Each test cost about $100.00. Each state not only requires different tests, but those that require the same test require a different score to pass. She's probably more qualified than many teachers out there; given her degrees and her licensing test; but still if she moves again.........no doubt she will need yet another test. To my way of thinking 2+2=4 in every county, in every state in the country. <br /><br />Traditionally, northern states require a much higher test score than southern states; and Eastern states require a much higher score than western states. And yet, we all put on our pants the same way. One leg at a time.<br /><br />I'm am really curious...why did you choose to home school? I thought about it when my daughter was young because she was quite bright and well above the public schools; but instead we suppletmented so she would have the school experience and the socialization. It's truly a subject that fascinates me. <br /><br />Sandysandycrochethttp://travelingsuitcase.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847447345124723025.post-59175176250775124312009-08-05T20:55:20.187-04:002009-08-05T20:55:20.187-04:00I'm sure people in your area will find this in...I'm sure people in your area will find this information very valuable and helpful.wonderful effort,melissa.onlinewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797733709575049641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847447345124723025.post-49332799184242403762009-08-05T17:15:05.635-04:002009-08-05T17:15:05.635-04:00I heard NY was strict.

South Jersey. When we lived in New York, though, they needed everything but the family tree (of course, that was probably an optional expectation....)!Laurel, Christine, Caeli, Sunny Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883181287059561676noreply@blogger.com
