GLCE's - I'm guessing something about learning standards one has to meet? Anyone got more to say on that. I heard there were 2 routes in VA.
a) You have to submit a curriculum to your County and get it approved
b) You take the relgiious clause about believing that you have to educate your child yourself (wehther you are religious or not)and as long as you have at least a Bachelor's, no curriculum is required. However, I think maybe you do have to keep records, journal of work completed but heard that even Lego buildling (!) and photos of that counted (Scary!) You know there are a ton of people with no business doing this taking that option!
No, there are several options for HSing in VA. Most choose the "have a high school diploma" option. And at the end of the school year, you have to submit a test that shows "proof of progress". Most use the CAT test. The child only has to score 25%. More info here:
