you can't just home school. you have to get approved, and teach the same stuff from the same books. at least here.
its not like you just take your kids out of school and teach them what you want. they even have you bring your kid in for regular tests every so often on the subjects. my sister did home school after having mono for months cause the school system refused to accept her back after missing so much school.

I don't like those types of Christians. I call them super Christians. I just worked with one of them for a month in july. it sucked a lot. according to what he said 97% of people are going to hell, so meh. smoke a cig and don't get a chance to repent before you died, hell. gay= hell, don't read bible and pray every day=hell. etc. he'd go on and on every day.

hes the onlyone i've ever met besides the ones at fairs or holding signs on road. most people are atheists here it seems. I know we have bunch of churches like most cities, but still most people i meet are atheists. but what do you expect in a left leaning city and state.

I don't say that atheists don't get hated on and stuff. but I've seen and got alot of hate from atheist. it bugs me when people just act like it doesn't happen and i'm making it up :'( also get hated on by the super Christians.

You don't have to do that for homeschooling here,at least not when I did.You just handed the school a form with a list of the books you were using,that was it.Some did it online.
People that are extremist and pushy with their views are annoying,luckily this area is'nt as up in your face about relgion as some areas of the South.The auto store has some relgious stuff up,I don't care,it's their store,they can have what ever they want in it.They are nice people and I don't mind giving them my business.They've never once said any thing about relgion,they just want to sell auto parts. :D
