Homeschool World Forum

Compulsory school age in Maryland is 5 - 16. Which, if I am reading the law correctly, means I can withdraw my son from the homeschool program (at least as far as the state is concerned) and proceed on my own without having to produce the tedious portfolio and participating in the reviews. Can anyone tell me if this is correct, and if so, is there a downside to this that I maybe overlooking?

Thank you for the input it is appreciated! I wanted to get others opinions in case I was missing something.

If your son plans on going to college you might want to keep track of things for that reason however.
