Excellent article!
"Home-schooling is a fairly recent phenomenon"
BUT- Please explain this statement to Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, most of the Founding Fathers and Thomas Edison(I could go on and on and on).
By the most "conseravive"(not political) estimates, homeschooling is growing faithfully by 15% a year.
That is HUGE,and that fact shows the largest social phenomenon we have seen in this country in recent decades.
If homeschooling were a publicly traded company, everyone would want in.
The "genie is out of the bottle",and the NEA is going to have to deal with it. "We are here.. it's clear.. get used to it!"
'nuf said.
I wonder how many home scholars it will take before there is serious political pressure for rebate vouchers of education tax money. When that threshold is crossed, watch for the NEA and Democrats to declare total war to defend their "no dollar left behind" system.
