homeschool laws

Typically when you ask a veteran homeschooler how to get started with homeschooling, the very first thing they will tell you is to find out what the homeschooling laws are for your state. They will then direct you to the Homeschool Legal Defense Association website (HSLDA.org) This is great advice, but did you know that HSLDA offers a lot of other important resources. Tune in to this episode to find out more about the resources and information HSLDA provides and why it’s a good idea to be an HSLDA member.

Don’t forget to visit my website www.aheart4homeschool.com where you can subscribe and download your free copy of my ebook “Ready, Set, Homeschool” that walks you through getting started with homeschooling and provides such gems as a video on how to design a homeschool daily schedule, a quiz to help determine your child’s learning style, how to develop a homeschool mission statement and more

This week Kelley and Julia interview Rachel Coleman, the founder of the Coalition for Responsible Home Education. They discuss the early history of homeschooling in the United States, children's rights, HSLDA's impact on children's wellbeing, the evangelical move to homeschool, and what polarized the evangelical movement to distrust public schools and the advent of modern-day homeschooling. Rachel shares her insight, research, and findings on homeschooling and what the Coalition was created to accomplish.
