child are, rather than their income levels. It takes a great deal more effort if you have to work & teach your child. I have home schooled my grandson for the last 3 years as well as being the sole provider. It's hard, but worth getting him away from the small PUBLIC school that he was attending. Student population of @ 60 (grades K - 8), totally being absorbed by the church next door to it. Legal or not, they are doing their best to take over the school. For us, there was no other option until we moved to a bigger town. BTW, he would be in 8th grade in public school, but the state tests place his level at being over 12th grade level. He is taking the accelerated courses, & will be able to take college classes next year while finishing his high school courses (if he wishes, I'm leaving that door open for him to decide - I don't approve pushing a kid to overachieve unless he really wants it). They do have state regs in Calif & the students that home school are required to take the exact same formal state testing (CAT, constitution, etc) that public school kids take.
