We Stand for Homeschooling - An organization devoted to making the distinction between homeschooling and publicly-funded schools (Charter schools, cyber-charters, e-schools, and so on) that are based in a residence. "The biggest difference between homeschools and publicly-funded school programs is that homeschoolers take direct responsibility by choosing a curriculum, an approach to learning, and the principles and values on which these are based while publicly-funded school program parents accept and follow detailed instructions about what to learn and how to learn it, using a curriculum designed to comply with state requirements and values."
