Homeschooling in Oklahoma?
|
Question:
I am contemplating moving to Oklahoma. Before I make that decision I need
to know what regulations the state may have placed on Homeschooling. We
have homeschooled our children for 4 years and intend to continue.
We have no problem with submitting to government requirements as long as
we have the freedom to homeschool.
Where we are we have to notify the local schoolboard in writing of our
intent, submit quarterly progress/curriculum reports, and have the
children tested through some standardized means biannually.
Please, spare me the pros and cons. I've heard it all before.
Answer: -Go to dejanews (http://www.dejanews.com/) and do a search
on The Tin Cup. You'll find plenty of discussion in this and
other websites. Ot hit http://www.ocaf.org/ for their side of it.
It's an Academy Award winning movie that the Oklahoma County
District Attorney (the county in which Oklahoma CIty is located) will
prosecute people for posession. But in Cleveland County (immediately to
the south and in which the University of Oklahoma is located) the D.A.
will not prosecute.
-I've been all too close to hog farms, but I'm not sure what "the Tin Cup"
is.
Fact is they tell me I was born there. (Maybe I could write a song.)
My mother lives in Tulsa and I am visiting next week. I have a couple of
job interviews lined up.
I didn't intend to be abrasive about not bothering me with pros and cons
of homeschooling but after reading it here in the website it looks like I may
have been a tad blunt.
