Category: Intent To Homeschool

In Lee County and wanting to start homeschooling?

Re: Reported issue in Lee County

I have been informed that Lee County's home education department is not following Florida law in regard to letters of intent to start Home Education--That they have told some families that they cannot remove their children from a public school to start homeschooling until the marking period is over and grades are posted. This is not in line with Florida law, which specifically states that the letter of intent is to be immediately recorded once it is sent.

Every time I meet a classroom teacher, or a homeschooling parent who was previously a classroom or was trained as a teacher, and we start to chat about teaching, they have so many horror stories to share. Almost always those of them who aren't homeschooling their own school-age children, express the wish that they could.

I, too, have my own horror stories to share

What homeschooling parents have said...

I have found FL Homeschool Evaluations to be very efficient and accommodating. Very knowledgeable in Florida law regarding home education. Non-judgemental and encouraging, allowing parents to maintain control of their child's education. Fairly priced, prompt, good communication. Quick turn around on completed forms. We have been well pleased with our experience" Michelle L.

"Mrs. Cheryl is absolutely amazing. Always there to help answer any questions and helps me and my daughter feel comfortable during evaluation. I recommend her to anyone in Florida." Yesenia

"I am so glad I chose Cheryl to evaluate my children. We finished our first homeschooling year in October, and Cheryl made the process painless, and has made me even more excited to homeschool my kids this year. I was so nervous leading up to the evaluation. But Cheryl is great, and is very informative and to the point. I am so thankful I found her. And will definitely be using her again. Thanks again Mrs. Cheryl!!" Mary

"This was our first year homeschooling in Florida. Cheryl and Mark were very helpful answering questions and helping us through the process. I highly recommend FL Homeschool Evaluations."
