Need help figuring out ...?

PLEASE SERIOUS RESPONSES ONLY!

I have 3 kids that were RCI students in PA, the district which we live wants me to return my kids to public school. I have no desire to do this. I am looking for information and the easiest route to enroll and home school my kids without having to deal with the local school disrict. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Update:

For those of you that are against homeschooling, this is why I chose this option....My kids went to public school most of their lives until the district disregarded the medical forms that you fill out every year, causing my epileptic daughter (who told her teacher before this started that she would have to leave because of the lesson, trying to standup 4 herself being 7 years old)to seize during school, by using a strobe light in class. Which in turn landed her in the hospital for 3 days and losing most of her memory. (Am I suppose to let the district kill her in the process?)

    I'm not entirely sure what you are looking for. Are you going to homeschool them? Or are you looking for someone else to do it? You don't enrol your kids in homeschool, or was that a typo and you meant withdraw them from school?

    Anyway, http://www.hslda.org/ is the first place to start. They'll tell you what the legal requirements are in your state. Then you can organise those and get on with whatever homeschooling style you want to do!

    Homeschooling is a valid way to educate your kids - you have every right to do it!! If you're out and about in the real world, and your kids are playing with other kids regularly, you don't have to worry about socialization - it's a part of living a real life!

    I'm not in PA, but I found this link, which looked helpful:

    There's a lot of other information on that site, too. Good luck!

    Seriously, you should send your kids to a school where they will be able to socialize with other children their age. They will have lots of issues later, if you take this away from them because you're afraid of what they might be exposed to at school. You're not gonna be able to protect them from the rest of the world forever.
