Boy, I hope someone has some answers!

I'm trying to decide where we should actually buy a house. I come from a pretty easy state: the main requirement was testing every 3 years, and then we didn't have to submit the scores to any authority.

So, anyway, DC itself is right out. The laws are crazy strict there. Would you say Maryland or Virginia is the easier of the two? I can buy a house either place. I think I like Maryland a little better, just looking at the laws. Since homeschooling the kids is essentially my day job, I get to decide this.

I have one additional issue: my kids are partially vaxed to unvaxed. Virginia seems to have problems with that sort of thing. Do they ever actually ask for proof? I'd have a religious exemption in my files, but it's debatable whether they'd accept it from me. :p

Am I missing anything?

I'm not a homeschooler so I have no concrete idea but I know that MD is a very home-schooling friendly state. I'll PM you the e-mail address of my neighbor and dear friend, Terry, who is a very active homeschooler. I'm sure she could answer lots of questions for you.

I would go with MD. I hs in PA, but we are near MD and I think the laws are okay. I haven't heard anything about VA, but I have heard lots of negativity with West VA and HS and vaxing.

Thank you both. I'm leaning toward MD at the moment, obviously. ;)

hey...i know of some groovy homeschoolers in georgia.

oh...wait...

;)

Yeah, MD! Woo-hoo! :) I'm in Laurel and if I can be of any help, I'd love to be.
