I want to apply for vaccination exemption for my children, and
I know that the homeschool law requires that you have a copy of your child's immunization records on file. I'd like to hear from anyone that may have experience in this area, or knows the law well enough to tell me what I need to do (if anything). I've had a very difficult time finding out.
Signed,
Need to Know
I've heard of home-swapping vacations but am having a hard time finding information about it. We want to incorporate "affordable" travel into our home-school, any information will be greatly appreciated.
Signed,
Waiting to Go
Can my children test with public or private school children?
If a private school is using a nationally standardized test and is willing to include your children, this arrangement will work. Public schools in this state may no longer be using nationally standardized tests, but now use state standardized end-of-grade tests that do not satisfy the law for homeschoolers. Private high schools often are more willing
than public ones to allow home-taught students to take the PSAT with theirs. There has been no trouble registering students for the SAT given at public high schools, because of how they are tallied.
