It is state law here to allow partial homeschooling. Although districts and schools vary widely in how cooperative they are. Some better schools have long waiting lists, so they probably don't feel particularly compelled to jump through hoops to help a partially homeschooled child.

I'd actually love to utilize our neighborhood school's art class, but the schedule is so erratic it would drive me crazy. There is a jr. high a block from us. I'm keeping that in mind for language classes, because we haven't found anything that works for us in the homeschool community. I'd love for the kids to take another language.
