 Definition :
Homeschooling , also known as home education is
the education of children at home or a variety of other places.
Home education is usually conducted by a parent or tutor or
online teacher. Many families use less formal ways of
educating. "Homeschooling" is the term commonly used in
North America.
 Objective
Students will be able to:
• Identify the two main groups of families who
homeschool.
• Identify the different methods of homeschooling.
• Identify why homeschooling is the fastest growing
educational trend in America today.
 Two Main Groups of
Families who Homeschool
• Idealogues: feel that their personal values are
not being taught to their children in public
schools (36% of homeschool families).
• Pedagogues: view public schools as dangerous
or inept and wish to foster a broader interest in
learning by focusing on the individual child’s
interests (38% of homeschool, with 21%
concerned with school environment and 17%
dissatisfied with academic instruction).
 Different Methods of
Homeschooling
• Parent-guided curriculum: no collaboration with
the public school.
• Student-guided curriculum: no collaboration with
public school.
• Enrolled home study: public school determines
the curriculum.
• Radical homeschooling: there is no set
curriculum.
 Myths Concerning
Homeschooled Children
• Myth: homeschooled children are socially
inexpert.
• Truth: they are often more socially-rounded than
their public-schooled peers.
• Myth: homeschooled children will not make good
citizens.
• Truth: they tend to be more actively involved in
politics and their communities than their public-
schooled peers.
 Why Homeschooling is a Fast-
growing Trend

• State and locally run school systems.

• Americans’ sensitivity to children’s individuality
and specific needs.
• Normalisation: acceptance of the masses.
• Institutional support from public school systems.
• Technological advances such as virtual schools.
