How big? 100 kids is not a lot when compared to teh total enrollement. Look - not trying to put you down - I praise homeschooling - why do you all get upset when I say it won't be anything other than a minority that will homeschool?
Why do you seemingly get upset when pro-homeschool opinions are shared...when stats and further information is offered?
In our city there are 75,000 school age children. Approximately 7,500 are home educated. That's quite a few kiddos!
But personally knowing that many homeschooled kids means it is not an anomaly. I'm sure some of the homeschooling parents have the actual numbers, but it is in the millions in the United States, and it is growing very fast.
I never stated that it would be the majority of kids, but you said
"there are few of you and there will never be many of you"
Millions of homeschooled kids in this country are not a few kids.
It is a very viable option when there is not much choice in this country.
My thoughts are that it will soon be about 10-20% of the kids in our country will be homeschooled.
