Missouri doesn’t even require homeschool registration. My understanding is parent just needs to keep a log of school work and samples of school work. That's only for proof of homeschooling if the kid is running around during school hours and cops pick up kid as truant. What am I missing?

I don’t think you are missing anything…I think it can get really interested if consortiums are created and the push for $ is created…

In five years you'll see Catholic parochial schools opening new/old schools in St. Louis area because of state funding.

May be even sooner…

Sigh
