Articles like the one above misrepresent many of us, and, unfortunately, they only add to the stigma surrounding all homeschoolers. Parents choose to homeschool for a variety of reasons. Most homeschoolers, like us, choose to do so because our children learn better at home in a safe, caring environment. We do it mostly for educational - not political - reasons.

What stigma?

The last study I read said that the majority of homeschool parents choose homeschooling primarily for religious reasons. Second was academic. Way down the list was safety.

Has safety moved up the list? Which study says so?
