Homeschooling: A Growing Trend

Introduction Today, many parents attend school for their children at home. According to the report of the US Department of Education, in 2007 about 5 million children went to school at home (Lips & Feinberg, 2008). This is almost 3% of all school-aged children (Lips & Feinberg, 2008). The private researcher National Family Education Research Institute estimates that 5 million children go to school at home in the 2007-2008 academic year (Lips & Feinberg, 2008). In any case, home education grew exponentially.

According to the survey, 1.77 million students go to school at home in 2012, and the number of children in home education is increasing year by year. Going to school at home is one of the most prominent growth of education. In the past, most children of family education came from political liberal or very religious families. Today, every kind of family goes to school at home for each reason. Some parents lose confidence in the government's educational system. In other people's lifestyle, you need to move from one city or country to another. Therefore, it is easy for children to learn at home, not multiple registration or movement.

It is an interesting question for further academic research whether trends in home education have created competition similar to the conventional public school system. An estimated one million to two million family educators are like an estimated one million children who attend a charter school or participate in a school voucher program. This suggests that trends in home education may have a competitive effect on the public school system. If you continue to increase the trend of family education, academic researchers may have the opportunity to evaluate how home education affects traditional public school systems.

Investigation by Marie-Josée Cérol's pro Ama Mazama also provides insight into this growth trend. Mr. Mazama, a teacher from the Temple University African American Studies Department at Philadelphia, began teaching her three children at home 12 years ago and there are few studies on black family education soon I noticed. "Whenever I refer to an African-American family educator, I think our school is the same reason as a family educator in Europe and America, but that is not the case," she said. "Because of the unique environment of the blacks in this country there certainly is a new story."

Family education is a big trend this year and we are considering whether more parents are progressing dramatically or whether they are suitable for children. Some parents even begin with kindergartens as a way to test the water through home education. Others are looking at the Internet and technology, and online education is getting more and more popular. And do not think about family education for just mom - father is also involved in this behavior!
