In Washington state, you are required to meet one of the four criteria:<\/P>
\n

1) be supervised by a certified teacher<\/P>
\n

2)have 45 college quarter credit hours<\/P>
\n

3) complete a course in home education<\/P>
\n

4) be deemed qualified by the local superintendent<\/P>
\n

I do not have a college degree, but I am pretty certain I have 45 credits.  With that being said, I still chose to enroll in a homeschool qualification course for the benefit of myself and my children.<\/P>

I chose to do an “at home” course.  It is much more time and labor intensive than the other courses available (there are courses you can take over a couple of weekends), but it also incorporates the Christian viewpoint of homsechooling as a part of raising and training up your child, and not just the specific logistics of homeschooling in Washington.<\/P>
\n

\n

The course is from Homeschool Oasis<\/A>, by speaker and homeschool veteran, Barb Shelton.  It is self paced.  I began the course in February, and will probably complete it by the end of the year.  I would recommend it for anyone, not just those in Washington state.  It covers a ton<\/STRONG> of territory, and I am emerging from this course with complete confidence and conviction that what we are doing is right and the will of God for our family.<\/P>
