sound like it is difficult with tons of hoops to jump through and lots of
requirements. Yet, none of these hoops are required by the state. It's a
"scare tactic" to make parents think it would be just easier to keep their
child in the school system. Or they are made up by a school district
employee who doesn't know the state laws.
If you are living in a state that has lots of requirements, the best thing
to do is to look for an unschooling group in your state. I bet most of the
states have a "Your state Unschooling" yahoogroup. These families are
masters at how to word unschooling lifestyles into schoolish looking
jargon. :)

That's all the legally need. Now what they want may be a different thing.
Read your state law and give them only what is required.
