I have homeschooled my children since birth. Public school at home is not a big thing in my state yet. I am active in HS networking in the inclusive group in my state. I have always wanted a clear delineation between the charter school at home, public school at home and "true homeschooling". However I have no idea what problems may have resulted so far from the public school at home or virtual charter school thing happening. I have no clue of clashes between shall I call them 'traditional homeschoolers' and the public school at home group. Anyhow other than joining the yahoogroup and trying to search the archives has this topic been summarized in past blog posts here or someplace else? You have my curiosity up. I linked through from my friend Judy's blog, Consent of the Governed. Is there a place (blog, site, whatever) where I can read what some of the issues are?

I don't believe unity in the homeschooling cause will ever happen with these two groups. It really is oil and water. Here in Washington State the public school at home programs are popping up every day it seems. I am a team member of a local support group and we have always not allowed advertising of these programs but discussion of them. It has caused quite an emotional out burst of those who participate in them. We have found that they are not necessarily homeschoolers by law anymore yet call themselves homeschoolers. This is exactly where the line is drawn for me personally. I feel it blurs the lines of public instruction and home base instruction. I believe we have a common goal...the education of our children but other than that I am still trying to figure it out. Thanks for your blog I will keep in touch with it.
