This is kind of off subject when you consider the last few posts....but I thought any homeschooler would appreciate this. I found this video on YouTube about the "Homeschool Family" and thought it was hilarious!
And for those of you who are like me and aren't to happy with "outsiders" making homeschool jokes, don't worry. The guy who made this is a homeschool dad and is just having fun with the way "outsiders" tend to see homeschool families.

Living in peace, aye many a season,
Calm in life and sound in reason,,
'Til evil arrives, a wicked horde,
Driving a warrior to pick up his sword,
The challenger rings then, straight and fair,
Justice is with us, beware. Beware!

Just curious to know: would you recommend home-schooling for our next generation?

Yes, I would. If they wanted to go to the public school when they were older I would recommend letting them. But, as everyone is different some may want to and some may not. (My sister is going to the public school part-time. I don't really want too. I might go a little, but not as much as she is.)

I would too. But I think attending public school is important too. I'd probably raise my kids the same way my parents raised me (homeschooled for elementary, public school for high school). Instill the values into their heads, and then hope something sticks. :p It worked for me and my little sister.

I was home-schooled until the fifth grade. Now I go to a charter school.

I would. Because I want to raise my kids and teach them. I guess since I've been homeschooled, I just like it.

I'm not 100% positive on how charter schools work not having worked in one, but I'll take a stab at answering the question.

Charter schools, are like a public school, and funded by state money.  The difference being is the school is run by their "charter" or essentially their philosophy.  Not everyone can attend...they don't have enough room in most cases, so they do select (similar to private schools).  Charter schools can be shut down for poor performance because they are funded with public monies.  So they're like a private school, but are not funded with a tuition, yet are bound by the regulations of the public schools.

That's what I understand a charter school to be.  Again, not 100% positive....I work in an alternative school.

Yeah, pretty much, Lutra. They don't usually have buses, and are usually relatively small.

I'm home schooled and always have been and always will be
Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly and I don't know why
If our love's tragedy why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity why are you my clarity?
Why are you my clarity?

Why do you like public school better? (It's okay I was just wondering.)
