Homeschooling is a legal option for parents to educate their children at home rather than attending a private or government school. It is INDEPENDENT of the public school system and its funding.
What homeschooling is NOT: Programs such as alternate education programs where parents educate children at home, but with funding and oversight from the public school system, are not homeschooling. They are public school programs which allow parents to educate at home.
Charter schools are not homeschooling. They are taxpayer funded.
Homeschooling and public education are mutually exclusive. By its very nature, homeschooling implies familial control rather than state control.
Please submit sites that deal specifically with homeschooling. Regional-specific sites should be submitted in the homeschooling subcategories. Sites submitted to the general homeschooling category often take longer to get reviewed. Please do NOT submit any site related to charter schools, alternative education programs, or other government funded programs. These are NOT homeschooling, but alternative public schooling, and belong in the public school areas. Thank you.

This category addresses school safety for parents, students, educators, law enforcement and legislators.
School safety is divided into sub-categories because of the diverse nature of the subject and the heighten concern in the 1990's: programs, publications, organizations, conferences, training opportunities and environmental concerns of maintaining a safe school.
While some links relate to school violence, specific school violence links can be found at Society: Issues: Violence: School.
School safety includes science safety as well. For lack of a better home for the category, there is a subcategory of school safety which addresses these issues.
