That's so right BAL! I wasn't even going to mention the 'unschooling' in here and the difference between the two because I figured I would be confusing some of these PP's who don't know much about homeschooling as it is... !
I was going to leave this alone but you were saying you felt attacked about hs and now you have just insinuated that some us know nothing, I think that's pretty harsh personally.
We are just having an adult conversation yes some people are very pro hs or pro mainstream schooling. But I saw this thread as asking question and getting answers. Not to be saying some people don't know much about hs?

Can we just respect each others views and have a conversation with the pros and cons about homeschooling. Cause surely you don't just want all the pros?
