I did not fulfill the state's requirements believing we were the ultimate authority concerning our offspring's educational needs. Never asked their permission to homeschool, nor did we register as homeschoolers. It's like COVID, the more you submit the more you're inconvenienced or even in trouble.
Do what you think is right for YOUR SON'S needs.
Just looked up a definition of Math(s).Here's the link to make sense of how the formatting has come out. Very interesting.

I am forced to follow our state's homeschooling requirements. Certain broad subject areas, as well as number of credits in certain areas, are required, and I have to keep records. I follow the grading and record-keeping format, generally speaking, as is used in public schools, with traditional grading. I keep all records as though I were going to have to show them to, and justify them to, an outside party who could show up at the door at any time. That has never happened, and it never will happen, but I follow the same practice I did in business --- "keep your records as though an auditor were going to walk in and ask to see things at random", and I've worked with enough internal and external auditors, to know what I'm talking about, and to know how to be able to do precisely that.
I have a bachelor's and two master's degrees, and have engaged in extensive non-degree study beyond that. I have more education than most high school teachers have, and for what it's worth, I am also a member of Mensa. These are facts that could be shared with anyone who might ever ask to see proof of suitability.
I am also a member of HSLDA. Do not even
think about homeschooling without first joining HSLDA. The legal advice they have given me is well worth the $140 annual fee. If anyone ever comes to your door, calling HSLDA is the first thing you do. You do not have to show them records or let them into the house. HSLDA specifically tells you that.
