>>Great point. And it gives me a glimmer of understanding as to why some
people get upset if the sentence is altered to "I have no problem with
you doing that, but just don't call yourself an unschooler."<<

Like I said earlier, I'd have no problem with someone saying that THAT
doesn't sound like homeschooling to me. I mean - if someone tells me they've
signed their kid up for a public school program and they have a teacher who
gives them all their assignments and they go TO the learning center every day
for classes and their teacher grades them and tests them...." then I'd have
no problem saying "Doesn't sound like homeschooling to me." That is based on
what that person is REALLY doing, not just on their legal status.

I have a problem with saying that people aren't real homeschoolers just
because they're in a public school program (AEP) REGARDLESS of what they
really do. My problem is letting the government define who is a homeschooler
and who isn't. I'm not claiming that everybody is homeschooling regardless of
what they really DO.
