Given that the home school population is at least 3% of the total and has grown pretty steadily at 10-15% per year for about a decade, at the lower rate, in five years it will be 5% of the total. At the higher rate of growth, we'll be there in eight years. If it hits 10%, IMO the public schools will start to collapse, because the difference will be so glaring that the public will no longer support the product.

I'm not assuming a linear growth rate. If the number gets above 5% I'd be amazed. But I hope I'm amazed, I really do.

HSLDA is already saying 3-5%.

Everywhere I go people are interested.
