Thank you, Meg, for writing that article about HSDLA! My husband and I want to started homeschooling our kids next year and right now, we're doing our research and everything we've read so far makes it sound imperitive to join HSDLA. They give all these scary scenarios about what can happen to you if you don't have them on your side, but you're right, as long as you know and follow your state's laws there's nothing really to worry about. Plus, I don't like religious zelouts pushing their beliefs on me.
