Homeschooling: Growing & Thriving in the 21st Century

Description

 Did you know in the 1980s, homeschooling was technically “illegal” in 30 states? Back then, we were considered almost as outcasts, or “weird.” Resources that we have now weren’t around back then. As more people began homeschooling though, the idea of homeschooling became more acceptable by government and society in general. More resources were also available.

“Roughly 1.5 million children in the U.S. are now educated at home … a 74% relative increase since 1999. Roughly 400,000 more children have joined the ranks of the homeschooled in the past five years.” It’s crazy how much homeschooling has grown! It’s amazing how God has used it for the benefit of others. If you want to learn more about the history and growth of homeschooling in the last few decades, buy this WeE-book and learn more! Here are a few reasons why parents chose to homeschool their kids:

• 36% wanted “To provide religious or moral instruction”

• 71% are dissatisfied “with the academic instruction available at other schools”
