June --

It's a good question.

It won't be a an issue for you personally. Krista's not going to grill you. :)

But if you were using the HEP option here (I'm in FL too -- established a
private school (Florida Unschoolers)) you would (hopefully) spend a considerable
amount of time and effort finding an evaluator who fit you.

Not the other way around. And not waiting until the last minute and worrying
about it all year.

You'd shop around and find an evaluator who understands unschooling and
deschooling.

The progress the child would make would, naturally, be the "appropriate
progress" for that child. Fla's standard. You'd just need an evaluator who sees
things your way.
