Checks, eh? Leave me out. We opted out of the whole system when we chose to homeschool. Check someone else :)<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

Where do you live? Here my children still have to take the same tests that public school children take, even though they homeschool. As a matter of fact, we will have to go to court soon because we haven't been able to afford the $300 proficiency test that we are forced to make our son take in order to keep him homeschooled for another year.

Even though we homeschool, we are still expected to teach the same things they do in public school, we are still held to that curriculum. Fortunately though, we can teach him things beyond that, there are still benefits to homeschooling irregardless. But there are still checks, the school board still dictates what you must teach.
