-MrBean-, the only legal requirement for homeschooling in the state of California is to notify the schools. Homeschools are considered, by state law, to be private schools.

Fill out your form each year and you're good to go. Public schools will and do request/demand more than they are legally allowed to. In some states they will send out letters demanding to see your curriculum before you can be "approved" to homeschool, when no such legal authority in that state exists.

OH I know. It's all about butts in the seats with them. It's also why the wife and I both challenge her at home with extra stuff. I mean, this is a 7 year old who got a dictionary and a microscope for christmas, and was ecstatic about it.

I have thought about it, simply because Anelise is top of her class and pushing for more. We are friends with her teacher and even she admits it's hard to keep her challenged when she has to keep the subjects to whatthe class of 30 kids as a whole can do/understand.
Because of this, Anelise gets a lot more personal reading time in class which I am okay with since it's better than her twiddling her thumbs being bored.
Homeschooling in CA has many, many hoops you have to jump through that's it's almost not worth it.

What the hell, those links are much different then the ones I found last year when I started looking into it. Although the ones I found were linked through several "internet schools" so possible they were trying to make it seem harder than it is in reality. Seems much more reasonable.
