How to learn about home schooling How would people find out more information on home schooling? We are considering it but have a lot of questions. Does the state help with some of the costs? Are there any organizations for parents and kids in Jackson County? Any help would greatly be appreciated. -- Teresa K., Central Point A good place for you to start your research might be the Oregon Homeschool Education Network. OHEN offers lots of general information, as well as leads on resources, curriculum, student testing and laws and regulations relating specifically to home schooling in Oregon.
