In my case it's not hatred of changing houses, but I really, really like New

Me too. If New Mexico got crazy and homeschooling laws became oppressive I'd
be willing to move to Texas, even!!! <LOL>

Aren't California homeschoolers having all kinds of trouble?
Something to do with schools demanding teaching certificates in order
to keep kids out of school?

The state's official position is that homeschooling by becoming a private
school (the R-4 affadavit) is illegal. OTOH, that's been the state's
official position for years now, and they haven't bothered us (although
some individual districts have bothered some individual homeschooling
families, but we've always won in the end). There were some changes this
year and some people were worried, but now it sounds like it won't be a
problem.

Harrassment but not really legal trouble.
The smoke without any fire.

Some counties sent "booga booga" letters but HSC's legal team already met
with state people (and people register at state level) and have reassurances
that the districts have been directed to back off, and that there was nothing
the districts could have done.

There are SO many homeschoolers in California it's not a stoppable thing at
this point.

If you have California friends with concerns, get them to join the HSC list
and look in the archives for August 20 and 21 and thereabout, for posts from
HSC legal (I'm just doing this from memory) and tell them not to worry.

Its nice to hear you, Sandra, mention Minnesota. That's where I live and frequently I think I would really like some of the more western states,on points of being more openminded, especially when it comes to unschooling. Although there are few enough people around us so its easier to do what you feel is best for your family. If we could only get certain conservative ideas out of our minds!
