Me too, I try to say to people that our children are having/going to have a home based education rather than that we are homeschooling. I forget sometimes though.

Ok... so what do you think?
I've changed the original post to say Home Educating. That way it's about a lifestyle of educating our chlildren from birth to adulthood... takes the school out of it? What do you think? I can change it if anyone has a better idea
Just like I like toilet learning, not toilet training.. Theyre not dogs dammit.
I always say homeschool too. Its the closest you can get to 'outsiders' understanding what youre talking about!
