North Carolina has pretty awful homeschooling requirements, but 275 days a
year doesn't seem to be among them. They say:

Operate the school "on a regular schedule, excluding reasonable holidays and
vacations, during at least nine calendar months of the year'';

There is a lot more - but that's all I see about the amount of "homeschooling
time" required.

Go the www.nhen.org and click on "legal information" -- then click on "state
information" and put your own state in. That will direct you to some of the
best places to get good information for any state.

Kentucky, on the other hand, has good homeschooling law that treats
homeschoolers like other private schools. They say: each home school must
keep attendance records, regular scholarship reports, and school a minimum of
175 days per year (1050 hours).

(If anybody sees a problem with any of the legal information for their state,
please feel free to notify nhen -- this information is the result of
homeschoolers volunteering to keep it accurate and up-to-date and they can
use all the help they can get.)

Well that means they don't want you to cheat by having a longer vacation than
school kids can have.

Maybe someone multiplied nine months by 30, forgetting holidays and weekends.

All the time you see things in state laws that are clearly there just to
avoid the "that's not FAYer" whine." So people have to test (even though
they can chuck the results), and they "have to take attendance."
