Homeschooling is not only growing rapidly in America, it is establishing itself as the most effective education option available.
Although homeschooling was practiced in America even before the nation declared independence, it has never been a very popular practice. Parents must buy and teach curriculum without support from any government sources.
Despite the extraordinary effort it requires, there were 2.04 million home educated students in 2010, and the population continues to grow. This is most likely due to the high return rate, since 82 percent of adults who were home schooled said they plan on continuing the practice with their children.
Another reason for the growth could be the stunning success that home schooled students have had academically and professionally. They consistently score over 30 percentile points above students with a public education on standardized tests.
