In this voice note, I explore the role of state or local education departments in providing support to homeschooling families. Based on responses from Facebook groups, I discuss the mandatory reviews required in our state to ensure educational standards and the community's mixed feelings on whether the government should offer additional support, such as funding or workshops. I delve into the pros and cons of government involvement and wonder if having homeschoolers run support programs funded by the county could change perceptions.
