Talk:Legality of homeschooling in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Sources
This is a well writtian article with lots of information. Whoever wrote it did a great job but there are very few sources to back up the information. If anyone knows the links to show that these are facts please add some. Lrldcs 15:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Advocacy groups
I added advocacy groups because I think it is a big part of knowing about and protecting the legality of homeschooling. I don't think I'll say too much about it on this page though but will check out HSLDA page. Anyone else know of any more groups to add? Lrldcs 15:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your contributions, they are greatly appreciated. This article has only recently been spun off into a stand-alone article. Before this happened, there was quite a bit of debate over the appropriateness of external links or references to advocacy groups and commercial groups that support the homeschooling community. These types of links tend to give the impression that Wikipedia and its editors are supporting or advocating these organizations and the effort they represent. This goes against the WP:NPOV policy. Before putting much more effort into finding and adding these links, a more constructive (and less controversial) effort might be to research the information on these advocacy group websites and incorporate that info into the article itself. Keep track of where you found things and cite your sources. On a lighter note, a Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative education has been organized for the improvement of this, as well as many others, in the area of alternative education and homeschooling. If you are interested in participating, please visit the project page for more info. Thanks, Master Scott Hall | Talk 18:13, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
