Why do Families Homeschool?
Homeschooling has become one of the fastest-growing educational choices in the United States. Once considered an alternative used by only a small number of families, homeschooling is now a mainstream educational option serving millions of children from diverse backgrounds. Families who homeschool represent every political viewpoint, income level, religion, culture, and educational philosophy.
Homeschooling: Your Voice, Your Kids, Your Choice
As a special education teacher I had been taught to observe and evaluate. My aide taught me to sit at eye level with my students and listen to them. She taught me to set aside all of the test scores and past misdeeds, and to turn my classroom into a family environment where kids were free to risk failure and free to discover the joy of learning. And, with that I became a teacher.
