The process

Hey, y'all! So you decided to homeschool. This is great news. I'm so happy that you have decided to take control of your child's education. The first step, get involved with HSLDA https://hslda.org/. This is an organization that protects the rights of homeschoolers. Depending on which state you are in, you have to follow a certain protocol. All of your questions can be answered by these lawyers. I highly recommend it. Once you do that, you have to fill out your letter of intent(LOI) and IHIP, again that all depends on the state you live in. For example, Texas has more freedom than New York. Hslda can also help with curriculum choices if you need help choosing. Now for parents who want to homeschool in the middle of the year, your process is a little different. On the hslda website, there is a withdrawal form that must be filled out depending on your state. You can choose to homeschool year-round, or six weeks straight then one week off. Whatever you choose, just make sure it aligns with your family schedule. So the process is not stressful at all. It just requires paperwork and focus. The process is pretty simple when you have the mind to do it, have a plan set forth, and the heart to deliver it. Just take your time because you can teach at your own pace. Well, I hope this can help someone in their journeys. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. Please check out my post How do I begin homeschooling. It's more detailed and also has curricula that you can use for free! Hope this helps 🌹
