[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worry about families that homeschool under the religious exemption criteria. There is much less accountability for reporting what children are learning and making any educational progress. I knew a family that homeschooled under religious exemption and for at least 6 months none of their 5 or 6 children did any schoolwork whatsoever.

The boys went to work with their dad and worked all day doing manual labor and the girls did chores and helped babysit. There were around 10 kids in the family. I heard the kids say they missed "doing school" which they had done on the computer, but the mom was too stressed to deal with it so they just stopped. I don't know what happened after the 6 months because I didn't see them anymore, but think that was a real shame to deny the children education like that and have no accountability to anyone outside who could do something about it.[/quote]

Clarification: 5 or 6 kids were school-age, and there were around 5 babies under 5 (one set of twins, and others all a year apart or so.[/quote]
