>school is mandatory where I live

Do you mind if I ask where you live? In most of the US school is "mandatory", but pretty much anyone can homeschool if they want.

There are a lot of state-by-state laws around homeschooling. Basically, some states make it easier than others as far as what rules apply. Some parents have to have their curriculum approved by a state board, others have mandatory checkins, and some have no requirements at all.
