We absolutely agree, Tracey. Definitions matter.

Thank you, Cheryl, for writing a letter to the Committee. We appreciate you coming along side IAHE Action to protect home education freedom. Our kids are counting on us!

We agree, Emily. IAHE Action was very troubled by the statements from the transcript. The statements absolutely do not reflect what tens of thousands of Indiana home educators have experienced over the course of the past several decades of the modern homeschool movement. Thank you for standing with us for the cause of freedom.

You’re welcome, Meredith! We’ll share more after the IAHE Convention. Visit us at the IAHE Action booth.

Will do, Joann. Definitions do matter!

We don’t understand it either. We are glad when people are referred to IAHE for counseling as it relates to home education information. In addition to our office, the sixteen IAHE Regional Representatives are prepared to answer phone calls and counsel people in their region. IAHE dedicates resources to make certain their Regional Representatives have received training to properly counsel families. They are homeschoolers who understand the requirements related to home education in Indiana. They interface with groups in their region of the state, so they are able to refer the family to a group that is a good fit.

What do you mean? What was your experience? Judging from the calls that IAHE has received, school do not have a good understanding of the difference between home education and virtual public schools. Families are not receiving good counsel when they exit the public school. Many are given IAHE’s number to call to get started in homeschooling, but as IAHE explains the responsibility involved with home education, they are no longer interested in pursuing this option.
