62 Due Diligence

AMDG.  Senior counsel with the Home School Legal Defense Association, Darren Jones, joins Bonnie today.  A litigation attorney and homeschool graduate himself, Mr. Jones helps HSLDA member families resolve legal difficulties related to homeschooling.  During the conversation, he describes four areas of HSLDA’s work: legal defense, consulting, legislative tracking, and charitable outreach. He also sheds light on how diverse state laws in the United States are regarding homeschooling, as well as how states’ written requirements and general temperature toward homeschooling may vary from each other.  Along the way, Mr. Jones shares insight into participating in local homeschool groups and dads’ involvement in the homeschooling process.  Ultimately, the conversation illustrates how HSLDA is there to help with the legal side of homeschooling so that parents can focus on the fun part: teaching the kids. For more information about HSLDA, visit http://hslda.org/.  For guidance getting your group organized and off to a great start or to receive the handout of ways dads can be active participants in homeschooling, drop a line to Mr. Jones at [email protected].  From the Kolbe Welcome Packet: Kolbe Academy recommends joining the Home School Legal Defense Association.  HSLDA’s primary goal is to bring together a large number of homeschooling families so that each can have a low-cost method of obtaining quality legal defense.  Home School Legal Defense Association Application  For U.S. membership, Kolbe’s discount number, which must be provided on the application, is #295160.  For effortless episode delivery, subscribe to the Kolbecast in your favorite podcast player.    Have a suggestion or question for the Kolbecast team?
