Families who go to church and have a strong Christian faith do very well with homeschooling. Through the years, we met families of all backgrounds. The vast majority of the black homeschool families were very involved in their churches, and those parents held their children to high standards. The way they raised their kids was impressive. All those kids (that I met) turned out well, too.
Those are the families that homeschooling really appeals to.
Homeschooling tends not to appeal to parents who want their kids to be athletes. Usually, you have to be a student at the school to play on the team.
Homeschooling doesn’t appeal to most parents because they think of school as an “experience” that they don’t want their kids to miss out on.
And most parents figure, put the kids in public school, that’s what it’s there for.
Both of my homeschooled boys are athletes and and played on travel teams as well as with a local homeschool sports program. We know at least a dozen teammates of theirs who received baseball scholarships through the years (5 of them Div 1) and we also know several others who received scholarships in soccer, swimming, bass fishing, tennis and football.
If you are good, scouts will see you. My younger son started having college scouts invite him to showcases starting in 10th grade but he had no desire to play college ball.
Anyway, a lot of people think that homeschooling deprives kids of experiences such as sports, homecoming, dances, prom, etc., my boys did all of that. They were accepted into every college for which they applied as well - there were no issues there, especially with my younger son. By the time he started college shopping, colleges were very accepting of homeschoolers - I think they realized they were a good fit because they already are independent learners.
They don’t feel like they missed anything.
