HomeSchool Association of California has a great email list. Not an
unschooling list - but lots of unschoolers there. This is the place to
go to get the best homeschooling information, advice, and support in
California:

We don't have to keep academic records of our kids "school work" of any
kind in California.

-=-So, basically, I need to keep on file a record of attendance and an
outline of what we'll tackle in a given year (like the curriculum
"lists" on Sandra Dodd's website)??-=-
Because people are from dozens of jurisdictions, discussing legalities
isn't a great use of this list. It's better to be in contact with
local people for technicalities of law, and with international people
for discussions of learning.
"A record of attendance" doesn't make any sense with homeschooling.
They're home. Schools keep attendance records for financial reasons,
mostly, and to "give credit" for more attendance than less, morally
(when there are perfect attendance certificates to be awarded, or
parents to be talked to if there's too much absence). Those things
aren't factors for us.

I have always used a spiral bound notebook of some kind and just made notes. I also keep all his work. We are in Indiana and we don't have to report anything to anyone but i do this for two reasos:
1. My own record to keep track of things.
2. If in the event that the state decides to make all homeschooling families report then i am already in the practice of it somewhat.
