Help! I want out.

I have been homeschooling my two daughters for five years now. It is not working for my eldest daughter. She hates everything to do with it. I really like the idea of unschooling and yet it scares me to death. The other problem that comes to my mind is that we are required to test at third, fifth, eight and tenth. My eldest was tested at the end of third and is supposed to test next year. How do I get around this?

What are you supposed to do with test results? That would be my big
question.
Some states don't do anything with them, they don't even want to see
them, you're just required to test.
Other states will want to see that the child tests in the top 50% of
age related children. If they don't, then what? Can you test again?
I would honestly look more into that before I worry.

What parts scare you? Can we help calm your nerves?
