Thanks for the update. The process has changed. Just looked and it seems the law is the same in that all kids under 16 must be enrolled in a public school, a private school approved by the state, or an approved home schooling or alternative education program. It sounds like the process for "approved" home schooling has changed so as to be more reasonable.
Back when my son was of school age (more than a decade back) it was more difficult. The "program" had to at least claim to comply with NEA approved curriculum. When my son was in high school, "experts" at his high school declared he had learning disability and was due to this so called disability failing. The disability turned out to be he was bored by the pathetic pace of his classes. Got him into an program in which he could work at a more reasonable pace, and finished 2 and a half years of high school curriculum in 4 months. That program was made possible by the charter program but was administered by a local district, who viewed it primarily as a way to shuffle off problem students out of sight and thus out of mind. Thanks to a dedicated teacher/mentor/coach, it worked.
