Did you move out of California? I remember on another thread you talked about doing that in a few years. That was quick. If you can move out of California that quickly; then I'm sure OP can get their teaching cert quicker than expected as well. Anything is possible in these crazy times.
Yep, we moved to SC in July! When COVID hit, and CA closed down, we just couldn't take it anymore, and decided we'd had enough. We flew to SC (actually NC) and looked at houses, bought one that's not yet built (next spring) and went home and sold our house. Packed everyone up and left the only state I've lived in my whole life! My son is happy to start in-person learning tomorrow!! And will have school sports (he's in high school). This state, while not as open as some, is WAY more open that CA - I've been able to get a haircut, pedicure, we eat out whenever we want, go to the movies, mini golfing, bowling, all of it. Open!
Now I have to learn about the options in SC for both homeschooling and college - we don't homeschool, but I'm involved in a group that does, and want to get up-to-speed. SC is not as homeschool friendly as CA for sure - and Dual Enrollment is limited, and not free. But it's still worth it to have left.
Congratulations on your move. My 16 year old is trying homeschooling with dual enrollment now. We are also from California now living far from there. Started with subjects that are fresh in her mind from the 10th grade and will also give her ACE credits.
