Pretty much starting a church school is to get a "church or group of churches" to simply decide that it exists and agreeing to keep a record of attendance (which parents submit themselves) and agreeing to inform the public school system if the child is withdrawn.
There are numerous other cover schools that are, as law requires, linked to a church, but do not require church membership or a signed statement of faith. Many are for all intents and purposes secular.
It may seem a bit strange, but the way it works out in reality actually enables an enormous amount of freedom to the homeschooler.
Critics argue that it disables the state from assuring all children are being adequately educated, but I'll take that risk in order to preserve parental freedom when it comes to educating their own children.Statistics: Posted by rocketcitymama — Wed Mar 10, 2010 3:50 pm
