Normally, I am **not** a grammar nazi(sic). Homeschooling is not a proper noun and should not be capitalized. If the words, public school or government school, are not capitalized, then homeschooling shouldn't be, either.

BTW, Nazi is a proper noun and should be capitalized.

Verga, the polite thing to do, would be to say, “Thank you!”. Your tag line is an important part of the image you present to others. ( Please note my tag line.)

With forethought, I did not capitalize the word, nazi, because the capitalized version specifically refers to those who were members of Hitler’s party or who currently sympathize with this political philosophy . The common noun, nazi, is now in sufficiently common use, especially here on Free Republic, that it does not require capitalization. I will admit, though, that some may disagree with this.

I am certain though, since you are a professional teacher in the government schools, that when a student points out one of your errors, you would **always** sincerely thank the student. ( no sarc)

This post is too see if HTML works on a tag line.

Nope! HTML doesn't work on tag lines.

When HTML is not available, I have commonly seen asterisks used when a person wants to emphasize a word or a point. Using all capital letters, of course, indicates shouting and a professional teacher would never do that.

Oh!...I forgot. How impolite of me! Thank you, again, for bringing this thread to the top of the latest posts list. When Freepers see this thread, perhaps they will, correctly, decide that it is best to remove their children from the communist dominated, godless, socialist-entitlement K-12 schools.
