Earlier this year, Candace Cameron Bure (of Full House and Hallmark Channel fame) left Hallmark Channel after starring in films in her 30’s. He announced he would be moving to a new channel, the Great American Family Network, to focus more on faith-based projects. When asked about the inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ story network in an interview this week, he explained that “The Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at its core.”

How can I legally drop out of school?
Homeschooling is legal in every state in the United States. Because unschooling is considered a form of homeschooling, you can legally unschool in any state. However, homeschooling requirements and laws vary by state. So be sure to check your state’s laws.
Off-school registration depends on state home schooling laws. Some areas require homeschoolers to register with the state, so follow state guidelines for registration and homeschooling requirements. (You don’t have to call it “unschooling.”) You can then adapt your state’s requirements to an unschooling schedule.
