-He just recently started acting. Due to this he has missed 23 days of school while filming. He is a A/B student in the 6th grade. He actually reads at a 10th grade level and is a GREAT student. He has made a B in math and I think that is due to missing school. He is able to make up days of school by staying after for 4 hours. However if this will not matter due to being home schooled I wanted to know. If not I will just allow him to fail and bump him up when he starts. I just did not know how this works. For all I know he might one day go back to public school and I don't want this to mess that up.I'm a bit surprised by this - I thought the laws on child actors not missing out on education were very strict. Doesn't he have a tutor while filming?
I know in our state what you are suggesting would not be a problem at all. You can place him wherever you like for homeschool and deal with the school on placement if he returns. Other states may have different laws and procedures... but it is not at all uncommon for the homeschooling parent to have complete control of 'grade level' while homeschooling.
Typically if he is returning to public school before he has any high school credits accepting the grade level you have prepared him for will not be a problem. Some schools may require him to 'test into' his grade but the tests are usually quite easy. After beginning high school, however, some public schools in some states will 'fight' you on accepting his homeschool credits. I wouldn't let this stop you from homeschooling or returning to public school... you just need to be aware of this as you make decisions in the future.
