“Home schooling is not a viable option for 97.387% of the population “
Same thing was said when only 0.34% of students were homeschooled. The number is growing as resources are being made available to homeschoolers. I know a nurse and an engineer couple that just started homeschooling and they are thrilled with it after 1 year of doing it. Their kids have had remarkable improvements in their knowledge and maturity since leaving the public schools. They, too, are very happy. The routine they have is far more conducive to family life.
I think as couples such as this join the homeschool crowd the more other like them will too. Again, the resources for these children is far better than what public schools offer.
Sounds good but too late for me as my two kids are a Junior and a Freshman in HS. The good thing for me is they both came up in National Blue Ribbon elementary, middle and high schools and have never not made the honor roll. My wife and I try to keep a close eye on their school work. My wife is a public school teacher that currently absolutely hates her job. That seems to change depending on the year.
