Public Schools Blocking Freedom
We knew this would happen.... Around 40% of parents now want to homeschool their kids, on top of the 2.5 million parents already taken ownership of their children's education, and, to no one's surprise, some public school districts are pushing back.
Freedom is at stake here and in focus. This sort of thing can only happen in states that require permission to homeschool or require people to get permission to withdraw from the government schools. Not all states operate like that.

Bear in mind, homeschooling isn't for everyone. It is a huge responsibility and a serious one, much like parenting, which many these days seem to phone in. Private schooling might be a better option for some families. Know thyself!
Thankfully in Virginia we don't need permission to homeschool. We just need to send the superintendent notification of our plan to homeschool. The Home Educators Association of Virginia (HEAV) is the place to start and also is where to get the Notice of Intent form. Joining them is a great idea as well as The Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA).
