Ever read the Pennsylvania homeschool law and wonder what it meant? Has a friend explained it to you and it doesn't make sense? This talk will explain in detail those two little paragraphs that describe exactly what it is that supervisors are responsible for in their children's education. We'll also briefly cover paperwork and other requirements of the law. Have your mind put at ease with a fuller understanding of what it is the law is – and isn't – saying.

Get a clearer understanding of what home education can look like while busting up those educational myths everyone has believed for decades. Learn about the supervisor's role in the Pennsylvania homeschool and how God has equipped each parent to lead the learning in the home. Add in a splash or two of things Ginger wishes she knew when she got started and that makes one enlightening experience!
