I am an upcoming sophomore student in Hawaii and I wanted to be homeschooled. My parents were okay with it so we contacted the counselor. The counselor told us that I will not be able to be homeschooled because I passed the freshman year successfully and I am not seriously ILL. Does this mean that only seriously iLLed people who did not pass the previous school year are the only one that are available for homeschooling? It doesn't sound reasonable to me because I know a few people who are homeschooled that are perfectly fine not illed or anything. I don't understand. Do you think my counselor is right? or maybe there's something fishy about what they told us?Thanks for the answers guys, I'll pick the best answer soon but I have one more question, what should I do next? Should I talk to the counselor? Do I even need the schools consent to be homeschooled?

That is a lie! I am not ill and passed school and was able to be home schooled except I didn't do it through the school. You need to talk to someone else at your school or if you know any homeschooling programs to take a look at them. Try and talk to different teachers and such. Good luck. Sorry i can't be anymore help.

Here is another supportive reply. All the replies here are correct. Your parents can homeschool you anytime they choose. I have known parents that have pulled their kids out in the junior year of school for their child because of academic situations. Usually the public high school wasn't up to snuff and they needed advanced teachings for their child and it was only possible to do that through homeschooling. Even homeschool evaluators in my county don't know the legal rights of homeschoolers and I have to bring copies from HSLDA to show them. They usually are the typical "Hmm... didn't know that".. answers.You and your parents should go for it!

Not true. Here is a link stating information about Hawaii's laws on homeschooling.http://homeschooling.gomilpitas.com/laws/blHI.htm
