yes it is legal, and quite accepted to home school your children. there are programs in place, mainly for families that live in rural areas away from any public school. in most states, it is not free, the courses have to be paid for. but in alaska, there are programs that are fully compensated by the state. i was home schooled, and so were several of my friends. it was a choice that my parent made and that i stuck with when i was deemed old enough to choose public school or home school.

best way to cheat through high school. i 'taught' myself every subject. still couldnt get enough credits to graduate without stretching into a fifth year of high school though.
