By this time Steve returns from his duties at the office and begins collecting the fishing equipment. Ben and Dad hurry to load the boat onto the van. The girls and I wave goodbye and wish them luck. I pray a prayer of thankfulness for the flexibility homeschooling affords us to allow my son go off on a school day with his dad and grandpa. Ben doesn't get to his other lessons today, but that precious relational-time with the men in his life is the best lesson of all.
Every state has different homeschool laws.
Generally, you'd best keep your letter short. Your purpose is simply to inform the state of your intention to homeschool. They will then reply, usually with a request for more information. Thank you for your concern. Sincerely, It's that simple.
