Why not? It lets people know that homeschooling is serious, and not just an excuse to sleep in and schlep around all day, which is what at least 90% of the folks at our cottage school did.

sleep in and schlep around all day, which is what at least 90% of the folks at our cottage school did.

I admit that I don't know what a "cottage" school is. My version of homeschool has the parents teaching the child(ren. Right now, my wife is doing most of the teaching, but I work at home and will do more as our son gets older. I'm already teaching algebra to a friend's 15-year-old.

I consider my son's education to be my (and my wife's) responsibility, and I won't turn it over to a public school, and I won't turn it over to a "cottage" school that does things that I disapprove of ("schlepping" being one of them).
