It’s big and getting bigger every day. To learn more, click here.

Among the things the article points out:

·Most home-schooled children remain overwhelmingly white and middle class.

·Requirements to home-school your children vary from state to state. Some states require parents that home-school their children to submit lesson plans periodically and some states leave you alone entirely.

·The number of children being home-schooled is growing 7-15 percent per year.

Reasons many parents choose to home school their kids:

·Concern about drugs, safety or negative peer pressure in public schools.

·Parents wanting to provide religious or moral instruction to their children.

·Overall dissatisfaction with academic standards in their local schools.
