The definition I created, "Home education (also called "homeschooling") is often considered to encompass all forms of education used as a primary means of educating a person of compulsory school age which are not directly controlled by an institution or a professional educator other than the parent or guardian of the student as well as education which is primarily based in the home which is under the control of an institution or a professional educator," is a run-on sentence. I'm going to try to come up with a way to convey this information effectively while splitting up this sentence into sentences of a more manageable size, but if anyone else happens upon this article and has any ideas about how to do this, that would be helpful.

Should the scope of this article be narrowed to "Home education in the United States"? The same question would apply to an article on the "History of education". Should there be a separate article on the "History of education in the United States"? [[User:James F. Perry|James F. Perry]] 18:19, 6 April 2009 (UTC) | |||

How can I make homeschooling automatically be directed to this article? Elizabeth Lawver 19:41, 14 November 2007 (CST)
- By making a redirect. In homeschooling I simply put the text "#REDIRECT [[Home education]]"; however you want to use redirects sparingly so you don't end up with double redirects. --Robert W King 20:22, 14 November 2007 (CST)
