Whyat do you think unschoolers do that is unlawful? 

 

Although I have unschooled in one of the states you listed, I now legally unschool in another state.   I certainly am no expert on all 50 states, but I know the regulations in the states where I have lived. 

 

I think that you either don't understand the law, or don't understand unschooling. 

 

I said.....If you do not live in one of the state I mentioned....you will have to teach the lessons required; do the required testing and turn it into the state you live; record your child work, progress, grades, and what you taught; have qualifications; teach a certain amount of instruction hours; and be approved by a board. SOME states require all this to be done and SOME do not. If you live in a state were one or more of those is a requirement AND you do not follow the required home schooling laws....you are breaking the law.

How as an unschooler (IF you happen to live in a state with major laws for homeschooling) can you be following the law if none of the above is done. The unschooling family on Dr. Phil...UNLESS they live in a very relaxed state like one I mentioned......is breaking the law.

As I said before...I am not a lawyer; I just have paralegal college education.
