Reply #6: I homeschooled my kids on and off in Pennsylvania

And the reporting requirements aren't exactly onerous. We'd hand in a one-page curriculum over the summer listing what we expected to teach in English, social studies, math, and science. And we'd hand in a portfolio at the end of the year with a daily journal (mostly just one-line entries for each day to show there'd been 180 days of instruction) plus a brief general write-up and samples of papers and stuff.

My highly school-adverse younger son spent 11th grade mainly playing Everquest online, along with writing and history assignments I gave him structured around that. Dumb though it sounds, it was the most educational (and confidence-building) thing he did in the two years I had him at home. From failing everything at the start of 10th grade when I pulled him out, he went back to public school for 12th grade, got almost all A's, got into a good college, and graduated this spring.

If the Pennsylvania school system can handle Everquest, I don't think it's going to make much of a fuss about God-based mathematics. (Is that the kind where pi is defined as equal to 3 like it says in the Bible?)
