For most families, summer means no school, no schedule, and no sanity by mid-July. But for homeschool families? Summer can be the perfect time to crank up the brainpower and outsmart the system — quietly and cleverly, of course.
No matter the changes that have altered the educational landscape over the years, AFHE has been very consistent in expressing how crucial it is to clearly distinguish between educational classifications. We will continue to educate parents, legislators, and the media about the meaning behind the terminology they are using.
The inclination of Legislatures is to limit parental rights in the area of homeschooling. We cannot let this happen. Thanks to Arizona Families for Home Education you have the best homeschool law in the nation. This is not only my opinion, but is also the opinion of Mike Smith, president of the Home School Legal Defense Association.
It’s up to you, not an over-burdened school system, to help your children learn, discover, and grow up to be productive adults. They will one day thank you for all you’ve invested in them and the incredible opportunities they experienced through the homeschool adventure with you!
Especially for at-home education options, there can often be confusion about whether a student is a homeschooler. While the schoolwork may take place at home, neither virtual charter school students nor ESA contract students are classified as homeschoolers according to Arizona Revised Statutes.
AFHE’s set of three free MP3s provides a great way to get started, as you listen to experienced homeschool moms address those common concerns and share how you can get started in this new endeavor.
