1987The Education Law provides that instruction given in a private school or at home must be "substantially equivalent" to that given in the public school of the city or district where the student resides ( id., § 3204[2]). * Under Department of Education Guidelines, the public school board of education, through the superintendent of schools of the district in which the child resides, is responsible for ascertaining whether the child is receiving instruction substantially equivalent in time and quality to that provided in the public school ( Matter of Kilroy v Fickstein, 121 Misc.2d 98 , 100-101 [

1980So that the standard form contract which existed here, provided: "The contractor, however, shall not be barred from commencing an action for breach of contract under this provision provided that a detailed and verified statement of claim is served upon the contracting agency and the Comptroller not later than forty days after the mailing of such payment.” It is clear to this court that the defendant is estopped from invoking the provisions of section 3813 of the Education Law as a defense in this action in accordance with H & J Floor Covering ( 66 AD2d 588 , supra).

1980In summary, the court is of the opinion that the defendant is estopped from asserting section 3813 of the Education Law as a bar because: (1) the defendants by their course of conduct by previously failing to assert section 3813 of the Education Law as a bar to other proceedings, and by incorporating other notice provisions in their contracts have misled the plaintiff; (2) the injustice to the plaintiff which would result from permitting defendant to assert section 3813 of the Education Law as a bar, far outweighs the minor effects upon public interest or policy which may result from invoking

( Id. , at p 455.) *498 While it is true that in Abramovich we were concerned with a waiver of statutory protections accorded a tenured teacher and not, as in this case, a waiver of a teacher's right to be appointed to a three-year probationary period in a
