An alternate to government education, it works.

Why homeschooling is growing? Because the government schools are failing......simple economics

Wished I could have homeschooled my child. Unfortunately, single parents don't have a choice.

Wished I could have homeschooled my child. Unfortunately, single parents don't have a choice. More than just single parents... many people don't appreciate that teaching is a profession - and most teachers that I've encountered are very dedicated to their students. On the order of 90% + people who start home-schooling, abandon it within a year, not appreciating the tremendous amount of work it takes.
Personally, I don't want to be in a position to grade my kid. As a scientist, I'm concerned that schools aren't teaching basic math and science skills, but most of the parents I know are even less able to handle math. Homeschoolers have to be exceptional folks, and I applaud them. I don't see that as being a solution for everyone though...

Ping.
In spite of the obvious replies the title brings to mind, this is an interesting article.

DEFINNING THE TERMUnless the subject is fish, that heading doesn't reflect very well on homeschooling. ;O)

Government schools are never the solution to educating your child.
