Online schools are not homeschooling. [View all]

It's school at home.

If you're using parts of online classes as supplements, that's one thing, but to have your whole curriculum mandated and taught just like in a classroom, only over a computer and in your den, well that's just schooll. Albeit you have the advantage of your own speed, and not dealing with bullies, etc... But that's about it. Don't let others confuse the two.

It gives homeschooling a bad name!
