This is an issue I try to stay aware of. We in GA do not have many rules to follow. It is a pretty easy state, but there are always people out there pushing for more and more regulation. They always manage to dig up that one homeschooler that makes us all look bad by either neglecting or abusing their children, and that is unfortunate. There are many more neglectful parents out there in the public school group also, and the issue of neglect or abuse much deeper than what method of education the parents choose.
