At the risk of dereailing my own thread, I just peeked at Massachusetts' homeschool laws and they are trouble (as I see it.) They have to approve you ahead of time before you can do it and you have to present curriculum and textbooks to them along with a plan of hours and whatnot. (I see way too much potential for abuse of power and too much pressure on parents to NOT homeschool.) I will be avoiding living in MA.

Unbelievable that these people continue to think they know better then I do what my child should know/be exposed to. What's next? Deepthroat as a health class movie? It takes a village my ass.

When I was in 5th grade, our teacher read us a Halloween horror story that involved a decapitation, with the corpse walking back to her friend. Since it was dark, her friend had to slide her hand up over the bloody stump where her head used to be to find out what happened. Yeah, traumatized. I cried that night because I was scared to go to sleep.
I spent the next Halloween story session sitting out in the hall.
Would you rather have your kid hear a story about an axe murderer and his decapitated victim, or about a couple of gay princes? Hmmmm.
It shouldn't have to be a choice between the two. But if i did have to choose, I'd choose the story about the ax murderer in a second. I don't worry much about my kids becoming ax murderers.
