Mississippi
Posted: Fri Jun 09, 2006 9:26 pm
I am new to homeschooling and live in the state of Mississippi, though in my profile I put Memphis, TN because I am extremely close to Memphis and that is where we do all of our activities. However, technically I am in Mississippi.
Mississippi does not require a certain number of days or hours for a school term. All they require is a letter of intent to homeschool to be sent to the Superintendent of Schools if your child is 6 years of age or older. My son is only 5 now and will not be 6 until February.
My question is this: Just how meticulous should I be in record keeping of what we do each day? I lean more toward and unschooling/child directed style of learning. I try to keep up with everything but sometimes it is hard. I will be utilizing the HSLDA membership should any real problems arise, but what about record keeping? Are there any good ideas out there to help keep up with what you do and when? Is it really even necessary?
Confused, Robin
