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).

The whole idea of the cottage school is to keep home schoolers honest and on track, instead of falling into slovenly habits. The curriculum is followed through in the cottage school, so it didn't "detract" from the homeschool time.
