On the order of 90% + people who start home-schooling, abandon it within a year

You have a source for that statistic? I'm not sure I believe it.

I know that I do not believe that 90% abandon within the year. My daughter homeschooled her children until an opening became available in the private school. She did not stop homeschooling to return to government schools.

I don't believe it, either. My wife and I homeschooled our children for years, and we know dozens of home schooled families. Neither of us knows a single family that abandoned homeschooling after they tried it.

I suspect that this 90% is the product of either an active imagination, or a public school advocate (with an active imagination).
