Homeschooling has grown from thousands of families in the 1970s to 3.1 million students in 2022, with numbers remaining above pre-pandemic levels in 2021.
Homeschooled children are more likely to engage in community activities and hands-on learning, benefiting from experiential education at museums, historical sites, and other educational venues.
Homeschooling provides more opportunities for critical thinking and deep processing of information, promoting better learning and long-term retention through exposure to diverse perspectives.
Parents are turning to homeschooling due to the lack of impressive education in public schools, focusing on core subjects rather than controversial topics.
Public schools often present a one-size-fits-all approach, while homeschooling allows for a personalized education tailored to each child’s learning style and needs.
The state and media are pushing to regulate homeschooling, with institutions like Harvard hosting events on “parental rights absolutism” as an attack on children’s right to learning.
Homeschooling is seen as a threat to certain agendas, with efforts to use state power to crack down on it, as it’s viewed as a powerful tool for indoctrinating the next generation.
The state aims to mold the whole person, abandoning formal instruction in favor of shaping the total personality to enforce equality of learning and usurp the general education role of home and other influences.
