Here is a web site detailing the legal aspect of home schooling in each of the states.  It lists attendance requirements, student age requirements, subject requirements, teacher qualifications, record keeping, testing, and what kind of notice the home schooling family needs to give to the state that they are home schooling.

https://www.hslda.org/laws/default.asp

On this page, on the right side,

https://www.hslda.org/hs/international/default.asp

there is information on home schooling laws around the world.



Hope you find this helpful / interesting / clarifying.

Haha, this is funny.

Indeed. You make a good argument when you write about with your education.  :P

Haha, this is funny. You make arguments that are outside the range of our discussion and you accuse me of 'missing the point'. I perfectly understand what your point is. The point is that you are discussing a position that I never disputed or challenged. Now you may think it's related to what you are discussing, but it's not related to what I said. At least not in my opinion. I think you were responding to things I said and not the other way around.

Same with the supposed sarcasm I missed. I respond sarcasm with sarcasm.

Anyway, you are smart enough to rationalize up your position. So debating isn't really going anywhere.

My arguments against homeschooling and education are pretty clear and pretty main stream, even in the US.

That's one way of telling him...LOL

Look... All I wanted to know was if anyone else was homeschooled. Yes or No question. And if you are or were to tell me how many years you have/had been. I didn't want this debate on it. And cut the trashtalk please.

Well, my status has changed from when I first responded to this thread. So, yes, I am. And it has been for about a week so far.

You don't get yes or no answers on here.

You probably were not aware the topic is controversial.  Controversial topics invite debate. 

Now you know.
