Homeschooling in 21st century -

Business insider did an article recently on homeschooling. Some of the things that didn't really surprise me are a) their statement that homeschooling has grown 61.8% in the last 10 years (there are now aprox. 2 million homeschoolers in the U.S. ) and the fact that they stated "Contrary to the belief that homeschooling produces anti-social outcasts, the truth is that some of the most high-achieving, well-adjusted students are poring over math problems at their kitchen table, not a desk in a classroom. According to leading pedagogical research, at-home instruction may just be the most relevant, responsible, and effective way to educate children in the 21st century"

Its a very interesting article to read and gives those of us who are having the momentary doubts, questions and worries that we all seem to get this time of year as everyone starts sending their kids back to public school something to read and reaffirm our decision to keep our kids home with us.
